CharlieRhea Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 How are we healing?? It is a week today that we took Charlie in for Thurs surgery, what a horrible day. I am happy to report it is as if he never had surgery! He is back to his ole self :-) i will call tomorrow for biopsy results. Small world, i went to the Town Hall yesterday to pay excise tax, i had fallen behind on so many things since i was preoccupied with Charlie. I told the woman what had happened-she had the same surgery a couple of years ago! She is doing well and they told her that perhaps it was a virus that caused it. Odd but i am glad she is doing well and my Charlie too :-) Thanks Tracy-hope you are well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieRhea Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you Debbie! I'm waiting for a call back today for biopsy results. I haven't worried about it all week, today i am thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieRhea Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 wish i knew how to do those dancing peppers! Charlies biopsy update! No cancer found!!!! It all remains idiopathic WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Only thing the Doctor said was i should bring him back to the cardiologist in a month because of an irregular heartbeat. Oy! I asked, wasn't this related to the cardiac tamponade? He said it was separate and Charlie has been a topic of conversation amongst the doctors involved. So, i will do this but not just yet. He needs to heal and go in the car to a fun place first. I hope to take him for a short ride to a park nearby next week. Not too many dogs and they are all leashed, it isn't a dog park. Thank you everyone for all your support XOXO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaidd49 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Has Charlie ever been Lyme positive? Pericardial effusion.can be a rare but not undocumented repercussion from Lyme disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieRhea Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Has Charlie ever been Lyme positive? Pericardial effusion.can be a rare but not undocumented repercussion from Lyme disease. 4 years ago when he came to the shelter he was slight Lyme positive. Never showed up again. At least this horrible situation is resolved with the window in his percardial sac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeylasMom Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Fantastic news!!! I have to say, I am glad to have followed this story. Most importantly to see how well things are turning out, but also because I wouldn't necessarily think to investigate laproscopic surgeries and Charlie's recovery has been amazing so it will be in my mind to always investigate if such a thing exists. I honeslty can't believe how fast he was back to normal!

CharlieRhea Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) That's my boy!!!!! Some of you wanted to see a picture. You should see his eyes. the bottom pic is when he was still at the kennel. That's me, Charlie and Sharon leaning into me. This is the pic his foster mom saw and hoped i was the one who would adopt him. Although after 3 yrs he looks a little apprehensive to me in this picture but was fond of me by then. Sharon was adopted within two days :-) Edited March 14, 2015 by CharlieRhea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieRhea Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Aw thanks for asking Tracy-2 weeks ago today he came home from surgery he had the day before. Hard to believe! He is doing GREYT! Still have to make an appt with the cardiologist for the irregular heart beat they noticed but I will wait until April to take him. He needs a break fro doctors :-) Although they were all fantastic. He can do whatever he wants now, run, rough house lol he doesn't rough house but those were restrictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
