Tuesday Night Update
GOOD LORD,
Charlotte!!!! I
just can't believe that I'm having my surgery tomorrow. Who would ever
believe that such a tiny, young girl could have such problems!!!!!
But, I'm going to be a big
brave girl. I've just had my bath and I'm almost ready to go.
I just want to say
"good bye"
and thanks for being such a great foster sister. We'll play again when I
get home and feel up to it. Mom's gonna let everyone know on Wednesday
afternoon, as soon as Dr. Jackson calls, how everything went. Mom says
Dr. Jackson's very good at this kind of plumbing. Say a prayer for me,
okay? I love you.

Wednesday
Afternoon
Dr. Jackson just
called. I never thought I'd be so excited to hear that a baby has PDA!!!!That's
exactly what it WAS!!! But, no more. She's fixed!!!! She's in intensive care
with a tube in her heart, but there's a chance she may be well enough to come
home tomorrow. If everything goes as expected, she's now going to have a long,
normal, healthy life and she and Charlotte should be playing in no time.
We're soooooo
excited!!!!
Thursday 5 PM
WE'RE HOME!! AND TICKER IS
HEALTHY!!!! She's certainly not feeling very well.....in pain and wiped out, but
her heart is now normal. We're concentrating on pain control, but that shouldn't
last for too many days. The hospital staff said she kissed everyone all day
yesterday and her feet never touched the ground (or the kennel). Yep, we're sure
happy to have the stinker home and healthy!!!!
How come I feel so yucky tonight??
I think I'll just rest
And tomorrow's another day!!
Friday
Today's a very quiet day.
The incision is starting to get itchy, so our dear friend, Sally Stack, always
makes wonderful, lightweight, little gauze jackets to cover up the wound, making
her look like a little yummy vanilla lollipop!!!
Thank you, Aunt Sally!!!
One
Week Later
Ticker is back and she's
HEALTHY!!!! Trying to keep her down is very difficult and trying to keep
Charlotte and Ticker from tearing the house down is truly impossible!!!
Ticker will be going to a foster home in a few days, where she will recuperate.
In a few weeks, we will ask Dr. Andrew to spay her. Her foster home will have
first right of refusal for her adoption.
Time out. I'm pooped.
Ticker...I see your
tonsils!!
Charlotte....don't try to steal MY
spotlight!!!!!
OWWW!! That's my tail!!!
MOM!!!! HELP!!! She's got my
lip!!!
Okay...let's be friends.
