    Update on Gracie

    Well she made it through her surgery with flying colors. She is resting and will stay tonight. I have to call tomorrow morning to make she she can come home and if she can then I can pick her up in the afternoon.

    Thank you all so much for keeping the both of us in your prayers. I was crying when I dropped her off this morning. I keep second guessing my decision. 90% of me says I did the right thing and the other 10% says she is going to be in pain and may have a hard time with the surgery.....I guess that's just human nature.

    Thanks again to everyone. --- Gracie and Meg

    Meg,

    That is GREAT news!! I had no doubt she'd come through it with flying colors, given who the doctor was!

    I knew Gracie would do just fine Meg! I have 3 here who had eyes removed and all three are doing just fine. And just look at our favorite guy Magoo who has no eyes and does fine. And Catfamily Carla's Tucker (another rescue of mine ) who also had his eye enucleated....all did fine as Miss Gracie will as well. Thanks for the update and hugs to Gracie's nervous meowmie. (And daddy too)

    Great news! Way to go Gracie!!

    Meg, I know you will be worried sick until she's home, but with my recent experience with Peanut's surgery, I just know Gracie is going to be better than ever and won't even miss her eye and....will probably be more comfortable now that it's gone and not putting undue pressure on her head.

    You did the right thing. {{{hugs}}}

    Meg please don't second guess yourself. I firmly believe that what you did was right. You simply can not convince me that her eye did not hurt or irritate her. This will be one of the best things you will ever do for her. I bet you notice a big difference in her after this. For all you know the little thing has been experiencing some form of pain all of her life. They hide it so well and learn to live with it. I know Gracie will thank you forever for helping her.

    I'm so glad everything is going good and now I will start praying that Gracie is back in your arms no later than tomorrow afternoon!

    Take a deep breath now meowmie, the worst is over. *shew*

    So glad to hear she did well with her surgery. I am sure that you did the right thing and in no time at all she will have adjusted and will be just fine. She will probably be better than ever since she won't have the bad eye to deal with. It probably did cause her some pain. It is to bad that they can't tell us what is wrong and what their thoughts and feelings are, it would make things so much nicer, but all we can do is what we believe to be in their best interest. Speedy recovery to Gracie!


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    I'm so glad to hear that Gracie's sugery went well. As others have said, your decision was the right one. Now she will feel a lot better.

    Prayers on the way that Gracie has a full and speedy recovery.

    ((((Meg)))) I am very happy to hear that Gracie's surgery went well and is all over. You are just being a Meowmie and I know you will not rest easy until you have her back home - very soon now!! Like some of the others, I suspect she may be happier than ever now that the eye is gone as it seems to me it must have been very irritated at times. more (((HUGS))))

    Meg, have you got internet access on the weekend? If so, we want to know how Gracie is doing! She should be home by now....did Gabriel have to "sniff her out" when she got home? How's she coping, does she have a bandage on her eye?

    Come on girl, we need details!
