The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 5

[weluvdisney]

HI Everybody;

We're back from our marathon day!!

Dawn-I can't tell you how excited I am for you!!! It is So nice to have one of both!!! Little girls are So much fun, especially to dress up!!! Congratulations!!!!

Denise- I will keep Rees in my prayers that everything goes as smoothly as possible, and can be done as simply as possible!!!! Your family is always in our prayers, I really admire you and I think that you have a truly amazing family!!!!

Unfortunately, I really don't have any great news to report as far as Cody goes. The tumor was much bigger than they originally thought, and it was wrapped around some nerves. It was a very invasive surgery, and he bled a lot. He has a 7 inch long 5 inch wide and 4 inch deep incision with 3 layers of stitches. They also think that his bowel may be affected since it was SO near there, he may now have some incontinence problems because of the surgery, we should see through the week. The Vet did not sound optimistic, but we have to wait about a week for the report to see what it was and if it had spread. Dave is headed up to the Vet now to decide if we should bring him home tonight, the Vet said that it was up to us to decide, he can stay overnight or go home w/ a lot of pain and meds. If we do not bring him home tonight it will be sometime tomorrow. The surgery was also a lot more expensive than we thought it would be unfortunately. I am really sad about this and I am dreading having him come home because I know when I see him I will be even more upset. If you all could keep up your continued prayers we would very much appreciate it!!!

Sorry to be such a downer on such a happy day...

Thanks

Julie

Julie, I'm sorry to hear about Cody. I hope he recovers quickly from this surgery, and that the vet has some better news to give you when the results come in

Hi Everyone!!!!

I haven't been around in a while but I have done my best in trying to stay caught up. It sounds like everyone is doing well.

Lynn

Nice to see you again.

 

[kc10family]

It was me and I have been laughing too!! Her last name is Huber and so grandkids call her Hoo Hoo and the really funny thing is she calls that femine part Hoo Hoo also. So you all have been making me smile today!!

So can I call the parts a hoo hoo again?

I am so sorry....I was hoping you would have better news by the end of the day. Poor Cody. He is in my prayers, and I hope that he rests comfortably and that the surgery did the trick.

NEVER mess with a woman who has given birth to triplets. NOTHING scares us! No, actually I'm surprised it got nasty. I posted on that thread a ton last year and this. Just wanted to read "the dirt". you know, like the National Enquirer!

There is more than one????

It went downhill from this point, but today everyone is playing nicely again so hopeful it won't get locked!

Great pictures Tammi

Thanks, Julia.

Julie,

I am sorry the news about Cody isn't better. I'd leave him there tonight. I brought our cat home right after surgery, and he was miserable (so I was too). He would have been better off in the quiet, resting for another day. Sending you hugs!

Just got home. The appointment went as both John and I expected. Dr. Meyers agrees Rees is refluxing again. He said best case scenario is that it isn't as severe as it appears to be, and that Rees is just really sensitive to the acid. If that is the case, they will manage him with meds and diet. But, we have to find out just what it going on. So either this Friday or next Friday he will go to the Outpatient GI Lab at the hospital and have an Endoscopy and pH Probe. They will give him an IV and put him to sleep. They'll put a tube with a small camera down his esophagus into the stomach to view the anatomy, check for hernias, and check the status of the Fundo. Then Dr. Meyers will attach an electronic sensor to the inside of his esophagus. The sensor sends data via a wireless device to a gadget Rees will wear on his hip for 48 hours. It will tell the doctor the pH of the acid in his esophagus and show how bad the reflux is. He has to stop all Reflux meds that week and must eat a very acidic diet for the weekend (apple juice, oj, tomato products, etc) to make the stomach acid as bad as possible. It is the only way go get an accurate reading. Last time he had a pH probe was awful. without the meds, he refluxed horribly and was in a lot of pain. I'm hoping this time won't be as bad. After 48hours we take the data box back to the doctor to download and analyze the info. If it shows moderate reflux and the Endoscopy shows anything, then we will go to the Surgeon to repeat the Fundo.

That is all I know at the moment. Please pray it isn't as bad as it appears and Rees can avoid surgery. Thanks for all your support. It means a lot.

Wow!!! I pray that all of this goes as fast as it can. I t doesn't sound like a lot of fun will be had around your house for a few days. Rees can't get a break can he.

I'm so sorry!!! We went through this last January with our dog so I know how this feels!

That was my surprise too!! And one of the ladies involved isn't normally nasty at all!!

 

[kc10family]

OK, Dawn, here you go!! For Christopher and the Baby!

So very adorable!!!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

OK, Kyle is upstairs singing in his bed, so I guess naptime is over for me!
Not sure if I will make it back on the board tonight- DH may need the computer for work (Gasp- the computer has other purposes besides DDA gossip and designs??).
PLEASE- keep it to 50 pages!!!!

 

[kc10family]

That would be a mess, for sure! We have family in Saudi Arabia. We commonly talk to them via a computer program, and it works well for 2-3 people. But when we get me, my mom, my sister, and a few aunts in there, it's HOPELESS!

You have family in Saudi?
Have you ever been?

 

[triplefigs]

no, she's always so nice! I am surprised too. Wonder if something went on via PMs that nobody else saw.

 

[triplefigs]

Off to cook dinner. I'll try to be back later.
