Ellie SURGERY Plans

We had an appt with the surgeon on Thurs. All signs point to it being time to put Ellie through AAI surgery. Her fusion broke down after cast release too soon for comfort. Her surgery is scheduled 8am Friday July2 2010 at Upstate Vet Specialists in Greenville SC- by Dr Keith Allen. He has performed several AAI surgeries with successful outcomes- May Ellie be a huge success story. Surgery will last several hours. She will be in the hospital there all wkend and we will take her home on Monday.

We are nervous- This is a highly serious/risky surgery to repair her neck/spine- but we have full confidence in Dr Allen. This is also a highly expensive surgery- and we are just going to trust the process that we will be able to cover all of the funds. We are responsible for this baby and will do whatever it takes for her to live a comfortable healthy yorkie life. Please keep Ellie in your thoughts and prayers - as well as our family- and Dr Allen- that God will carry us all thru each step of this one day at a time. We hope she survives the surgery, and will have a new strength in her body and will have full mobility.

Thanks everyone. Promise I will update as soon as I can after her surgery.
