Bumping, update on total in first post.

I posted an update with more details here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...&page=15&pp=15

Raven is scheduled for surgery on Friday. The surgeon was optimistic and does not feel radiation will be necessary, and that he believes he can get it with a bit of bone removal, possibly some of the teeth and that area the cancer is in.

Fortunately this also means the cost involved will not be as great as I had first feared. Originally they were talking about a partial jaw removal and reforming of the jaw using a rib bone, which would have been at least 4 grand and she'd had had to go to the U of M. As it stands right now, when all is said and done it should be under or up to around 1k total. I am not sure what people have sent but I believe you all have donated a good chunk of that at least, so it does not look I am going to be hit so hard with this. After having to pay out taxes and Raven's last surgery etc., I was completely out of any emergency funds, so you all have helped me more than you can know.

But as it stands I don't think there will be need for repeat donations or funding set up, although I won't know for sure until everything is done. If we do happen to have any extra left over I will send it on to an organization like IMOM. Thank you again, and please keep those prayers coming, especially Friday. The PT community is a true blessing.

This is great news! With the donations so far and those discussed as being mailed or will be mailed, we should be able to really take a chunk out of that number. You guys are so awesome, I can't thank you enough for being willing to step up and help save Raven. All donations will be kept track of in the first post of this page and I will notify each of you by PM when I receive your donation so you know it arrived, and as Jessica said, any funds left over, if there are any, will be donated to help others in need.

I can't thank you enough for all you have done.

I will be sending something in the mail this week. I'm afraid I can't donate much but every little bit helps right? I have all the Christmas cards lists back to 2003 so if Jess was on one of them, I have her address. If not, then please PM me her address?? Thanks.

Still in my prayers Jess!!

Thank you=) I received the donation but in email asked for your screen name, then realized it was you again hehe. It's tricky sometimes keeping up with real names/screen names, whe doing donations. Adding to the total on the first page. Will let everyone know when donations are received and the totals will be added to the first post.
Thank you all!

Tomorrow's the big day. You're in my thoughts. Paws and fingers crossed.

ETA: I just looked at the amount donated and got LES. PT truly is a great place.
