Surgery Day

Yesterday morning, Scrappy arrive in Pullman at 4am and was taken to the pet hospital around 7am for an 8:30am appointment. After more x-rays and consultation with the surgeon it was decided that Scrappy should undergo surgery to try to repair the fractured hip bone. At 11am he was under the knife.

It wasn't until 5pm that we heard back from the doctors. Scrappy Doo has made it through surgery. The doctors said that the hip fracture was not able to be pieced back together and decided on another method, FHO. Scrappy will face a long road of recovery ahead. We need to start looking into hydrotherapy as well as an x-large doggie wheel chair.

The good news, Scrappy is alive. The surgery was less expensive then originally estimated. Somehow Will and I are surviving. I started a new job on Monday and I can't believe it is Friday. Will and Jim will be able to visit Scrappy this morning and talk to the Doctors. We will have a better idea later on, about recovery as well as when Scrappy can be transported back to the great state of Tacoma.

I look at this whole situation with positive light. Scrappy has helped so many people and will continue to help. I am already thinking of the possibilities of starting a Canine Against Drunk Drivers or Dogs Against Drunk Drivers. Scrappy is so great with every one he meets I am already envisioning him going to school and talking about disabilities. I guess in part, the possibilities are endless. We still are so thankful for all the support we have gotten so far and exploring other to get more support around this amazing creature.

Today I hope to continue working on making fliers, adding picturs to the blog, and working on obtaining a loan.
