Bad news...

Bailey will be going into surgery at 1PM EST. The doctor says the barium is just not draining from her stomach into her intestines properly. She thinks the tampon may be lodged in the duodenum, which I think is the part that goes from the stomach to the intestine.

I hate being at work right now, but there is no other place for me to be. I don't have enough leave time. Maybe I can take it as sick time, I'll have to ask my boss. She has two pitbulls and a pomeranian of her own, so maybe she'll take pity on me and loan me some leave time.

Anyway, the surgery is to be performed by the owner of the practice, Dr. Kuhn at Cary Street Veterinary Hospital. She is a top of the line vet, very caring. She said that they will probably have to keep her tonite. If the surgery is simple enough, Bailey will stay there tonite and Dr. Kuhn will go check on her a few times. I can probably go visit her as they do stay open until 8PM.

I've already called my dad to tell him the surgery will be $1500. We've already spent $800 on the ER vet and the regular vet yesterday. He said not to worry about the money and to call him after the procedure is done.

I am such a bad mom....I just want to shoot myself right now.
