Who is able to help Naomi? (Nomilyn)

Naomi, I'm so glad to hear that Bassett is doing well. Thanks for the update. :D

Taken today, June 30th. The A/V Department gives a couple of scratches for a welcome home. Feels much better than that cone I bet.

The bruising has gone down and the redness has subsided.

The A/V Department gets the "evil-eye" from yet another woman :p

After a long day of recouperating and out doing herself, time for a nap! :)

Regards,
A/V Dept.

AWWWWW great pictures. I just love the first one where Bassett is getting scritchies.
Bassett, you just keep on healing up nicely girl and continue getting better. Bless you dear sweet Bassett, keep on being strong.

All I can think of is "oh, look how pretty Bassett is"

Bless her heart! Let's just hope that each day is a giant leap in progress to perfect health.

Hugs all around and thanks to the A/V Department.

had to remove audio and downgrade quality in consideration of the dial-up peeps. It's streaming video now, so it should be a nicer download.

Enjoy

Its so great to see her like this! She's not hiding and is enjoying her love sessions....yay!!! :) She's looking so good! Keep up the good work, Naomi and Nate.

EDIT: That movie was so great! I thought she looked like she was feeling better in those pictures, but that was amazing!! Playing with water, perched over the sink, ON her incision??? That's awesome!!!! :) :D :) :D THANK YOU GOD!!!

Aww she is absolutely beautiful. Hope she just keeps getting better and better.

I also started to be worried but it really was a huge surgery so nobody could expect it to just heal- it will take time for sure.
Bassett looks as if she knows she has gone through a lot but she is still full of confidence and love. I have noticed that too with cats -they trust you even if they cannot really understand what's happening.

It's so moving to see her. Bassett we love you. Get better soon:)

What great pictures! and video too!!:) It is really wonderful to see Bassett looking so good! Thanks Nathan:D and loads of thanks for also thinking of us dial-up peeps when you posted it!:D :D

Chris

Thank for the pics ... good to see cute little Bassett doing well. Good news about the fluid not being chyle ... that is what we've been waiting to hear! Keep the good news coming!

I too thought it was amazing her laying on her incision like that:) She seems to be feeling a little better, hope this continues!

Thanks A/V Dept;)

What great videos Nate..........er..........A/V Dept :D :D What with all the lovely photos of Bassett too - you're doing a great job - and much appreciated too!

Glad to hear the fluid wasn't serious - she's looking so good isn't she Naomi?

(Message from Dan:-
To the beautiful Bassett - I'm glad you're drinking your water properly - it's the only way to enjoy a good drink!:D :eek: Luff Dan xxx)

I cannot get over the recovery! To see her drinking from the sink (despite an incredibly 'busy' counter..he he) is amazing. She looks great, just great.

Thanks so much for the update, Naomi. We all know you are preoccupied, it was just worrisome for us other folk. A/V Dept..you sure do a great job!!!

Hugs to all of you.

WOW! I just couldnt help but smile when I saw Bassett ... she looks like she's doing just fine, she's a strong girl :D Keep it up Bassett :D

Bassett looks great. :D Thanks for the great pics and video Nate. :)

So wonderful to see Bassett's pictures. The one of her napping makes me want to give her a kiss on her sweet little head. Will you give her one for me? Prayers still going until she is completely well.

Wow, wonderful pics and video! She is doing so good it's hard to believe she just had major surgery! Is that incision on her side the only one?! :eek: Seems so small for everything they had to do in there.

But the good news is she's home and doing better than ever. :D

Bless her sweet heart. She's getting better!! YEAH!!!! :D Thoughts and prayers are with you both, Naomi and Bassett!!!

Bassett's incision runs from between her front legs down to about where a belly button would be. I'm not sure what you saw or what picture you are referring to, but I don't know that I've been able to get a good pic of the whole scar. I refused to take a pic at first.. it was very purple and bright red with bruising and swelling. If I can get a pic now, though, I will try :) it has really calmed down.

I'm heading to a hotel tomorrow night. I just don't want to keep the kitties confined to one bedroom. I'm getting a room with a fridge (read: lots of treats and wet food for the kitties!!!) and air conditioning, which will make things more comfortable for all of us. I have one last appointment on Friday morning, so I'm hoping that I won't have to go back again.. but so far, things are looking good :)

More updates to come. I won't have internet at the hotel so maybe Nathan will be a middle man for me :)

Naomi

I will do what I can!

I'm so happy that Bassett is up and about. She looks happy to be out of the vets :D

Hopeing Bassett keeps improveing.

The girls needed some sleep so away they went. I'm quite certain that when the picture is viewed by Nomi, I'll be dead, so thanks for all the kind words, send flowers to the funeral.

Just kidding! Naomi said I could post it. They are laying in my waterbed and Bassett is laying on her incision.

Enjoy,
A/V Dept.

What a sweet pic! Bassett looks so content with mommy!

Naomi - COOOOOOOOME HOME SOON! I'm dying here without my fellow diabetic, reality show junkie, cake and dragon lovin friend!

Soooo Sweet. They both looked wiped out. Make sure you look after our favourite girls. ;)

For those who have asked here are some pictures of Bassett's tummy. It's a little dark, but I had to act quickly while the chance was availble.

and another

A/V Dept.

I am sitting here with huge tears in my eyes.

Bless her heart.........what a major incision.

I would hide under the bed too, if that was my incision.

I will continue to pray for her complete recovery!

This is the picture I was referring to. I see that what I was looking at was not the incision at all!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Poor sweet Bassett! Like Gini said, I would hide under the bed too if I had an incision like that!!!

And the pic of the girls sleeping is so sweet.

Thanks so much A/V Department. ;) :D

And that incision....wow, it's huge:eek: I had no idea that it would be so large. But it does look like it's healing good:)

Ahhh! The girls look so sweet together. So glad that Bassett is healing nicely. What a relief.

Naomi and Bassett look so relaxed and happy together. :D I'm also glad to see that Bassett's incision is healing well too. :)

*faints!*

I love that pic of Naomi and Bassett together ... soooo sweet! Great to see the two of them so relaxed and happy.

The picture of Naomi and Bassett is very sweet. They look very relaxed. Its the first time I saw a picture of Naomi. Its nice to be able to put a face with the name.

So happy to hear Bassett is doing well. You are still in my thoughts and prayers, Bassett. Hayley and Mandy send lots of headbumps to you and your mommy.

OMG! That incision is so significant! Bassett, my heart aches for you all over again. You poor little RECOVERING kitty girl!!! No wonder you are sleepy, and hiding. Don't forget, we love you for who you are, NOT for what you look like! Besides, you WILL be tummy-beautiful in short order, I know it.

Naomi, good on you (had to steal the Euro-phrase, he he) to take a hotel room. That should be nice for the two of you.

A/V Dept, keep up the good work...it means so much to us to 'see' the facts, too.

Wow, just got into work and read all the updates. So glad Bassett is healing nicely and that the breathing was not a serious issue. Love the pic on the waterbed! Thanks for all the pictures Nate, but I was not able to get to the movie - Page not Found. Will try again later.

Hugs to you all and kisses to the furbabies.
luv

Aggghhhhh!!

Poor Bassett Baby - that sure is one serious incision. No wonder you're tryng to hide under beds! Take good care sweetie-pie - lots of nose kissies from this side of the 'pond' xxxxx

Lovely pic., of you Naomi with the bestest girl!! (Thanks Nate!)
