"Do You Mind?" - Disney Adventures with Teens August Trip Report

[Charleston Princess]

Susan, I hope Magic is doing okay!!!

Glad you were able to spend some time visiting Paxton!

Are you planning on doing live updates while you are at WDW? That would be too cool!

 

[Marshay]

Or what in the world will happen next?
At about 10:30 P.M. tonight Susan called to say that they were just then leaving Jackson.
Apparently while they were at the kennel they noticed a change in Magic. Susan can update you with the accurate information.
Anyway, as I write this Magic is in emergency surgery at the vet's for a twisted stomach.
I don't know the details, facts, etc. I'll just share that Susan said that the vet was pessimistic.
So please add Susan and her family and especially Magic to your prayers.

Oh, special prayers for Magic! I'm sorry for all of you.

Thanks for all the prayers and wishes everyone. I am happy to report that THEY WORKED!!!

We got a call at 12:15am that they had run the tube into Magic's stomach and bowels and relieved all of her gas and bloat. They determined that the twist was at the top of the stomach, near the esophogas. As the vet was talking to Chris (I wasn't taking calls - I just couldn't take it), she said they were prepping Magic for surgery to turn the stomach.

We tried to wait up, but were so tired from 4 hours of sleep, then the long drive, we crashed about 1:15am. At 1:50am, the vet called to say the surgery was successful and Magic was already up walking around!!

Another call at 6am from the vet saying that Magic is doing great and we are really lucky that we caught this so early. Dad picked her up at 6:30 and had her at the kennel doing great. At 8, he took her to the local vet for observation and antibiotics.

So again, thoughts and prayers worked. Katie, Chris and I were all in tears last night. Very tiring and emotional. But we are so glad that we were able to save our Magic Monkey Poo.

Alright everyone, we are OFF!!

I am not sure if I'll update after this point or just wait until we're back. I may try to do live updates, since y'all seem to like them. (Do they go on the PTR?) But I can't make any promises. I want to make sure I take time to relax, enjoy and absorb.

We are headed to check out and possibly test drive a car for Katie, then to the airport.

I want to thank all of you for reading along with us and for bearing with us as we (often) went off topic. Thanks for helping to build all the excitement in us and for all the well-wishes for a great trip.

We will see you on the backside!!
