Ellie's Angels on this Earth (Dr. Keith Allen Upstate Vet SC; Dr. Jill Coleman Good Hands Vet Athens GA)
"RELEASE" what a word.
Today we had a miracle day. Ellie went to her surgeon, Dr Keith Allen (who we call our Irish Guardian Angel)- at the incredible facility of Upstate Vet Hospital in Greenvile, SC.
He was so IMPRESSED with her mobility, her love for life, her total attitude and puppy wiggliness, that he said he releases her from her care. She can wear a soft harness. She can play. She can GO ON VACATION- run with the sand under her little paws. We will always be required to exercise extra caution with her neck and spine- always protect her the best we can- otherwise her scar tissue has fused around c1 and c2 and will not need surgery. IF we were ever to elect surgery he prefers to delay for 6 months to a year, for bone growth. However, none of us anticipate that being needed. Thank you to EVERYONE for your steady prayers, support, and caring concern as we have walked this journey with Ellie- esp since Jan22 when she no longer could use her back legs whatsoever. Ellie and her family requests continued thoughts and prayers- as we must offer her protection from injury for her lifetime....many many many yorkie years we hope!!!!
ELLIE in her stroller (actually Liza's stroller) during our WONDERFUL lunch with my dear friend bonnie and my dear wonderful aunt Linda. The only thing missing on a very perfect day was my most wonderful best friend and mommie to Ellie, sweet sweet Lynnie.
Ellie on the drive home. Looks so peaceful. But she actually cried the entire way to Greenville. She still absolutely hates the car...and I still have not solved the mystery as to why.
