Hang in there Phred!!!
Hang in there Phred!!!
Nine is Fine!!
Yes, rather disappointing day, but things are still progressing. The procedure didn't get him all fixed up, but it sounds like it did give the docs a better idea of what they're up against so they know better how to proceed.
Still hoping and praying for the best!
Any hope of maybe Phred getting to go on a "field trip"? Even if it's only to outside the hospital? Then his friends can bring the trio by for a little reunion. Poor pups must be so confused as to what happened to their dad.![]()

on the phone with disgruntled patient right now. He is rather disappointed with what happened yesterday but says that they are going to try to help it with medicine at this point. He might be a candidate for pacemaker at some point. I asked if he was able to have a bypass and he said that he wasn't sure about that b/c of the recovery time was extensive? Is this true? I have no idea. Just from your replies here it sounds as tho there are several people just here that know people that have had bypasses.
He said he would try to check in tonite to let me know if he gets released tomorrow.![]()

Godspeed Phred and Gini you will be missed more than you ever know..
Tell him we're all thinkin' of him! And my friend Edward lived for a long time with a pacemaker, my neighbor Charlie (former firefighter) did, too!
I'm having problems understanding what a pacemaker and bypass surgery have in common. Bypass surgery corrects a blocked artery, right? Pacemakers regulate the heartbeat. Two totally different things. I'm sure Phred will set us all staright when he is back online. As long as his doctors have it straight, I'm not worried!
Bypass surgery does have a bit of a long recovery, Staci, as it is open heart surgery. My mother had open heart surgery for another issue and it was probably six weeks before she could really start functioning again.
Thanks for updating us, folks.

More prayers on the way... I've just sent an e-card.... ***hugs***

Not sure that the recovery time being extensive should rule this out if this is what he needs. Better to be functioning for the long run. I'm wishing that he could have been gone to a large teaching hospital. This whole thing breaks my heart.Originally Posted by shais_mom

I agree - I kind of thought the long recovery time is better in the long run.Originally Posted by Rachel
I am not entirely sure either Logan. That IS confusing. As long as they have it right tho....

Godspeed Phred and Gini you will be missed more than you ever know..
We hop that whatever is best in the long run is what they'll do. A long recovery time is hard to deal with, but better than not feeling your best, and having the possibility of more trouble hanging over one's head.
Lots more prayers on the way from me for our Phred too!
No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
