Raven is back home for now and a sleepy puppy . She is scheduled for surgery on Friday. The specialist feels surgery has a very good chance of success. He has done several similar surgeries and had very good results most of the time. They will be taking out a somewhat wide area and perhaps some of the bone and teeth in that area.

He does not recommend radiation as he says recent studies have shown some negative effects such as osteomyelitis of the jaw, and feels it would not really add anything to the chance of success overall.

So the surgery will be done Friday morning and she hopefully will be able to come home on Saturday. Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
