Murphy's diagnosis- thanks for your prayers

[lizbud]

Logan.

You sound like a new woman. Tough love for Butter &
dispatching the mousie like a pro. LOL. Murphy is very lucky
to have you for a Momma. Hope she sleeps peacefully thru
the night & starts to feel more comfortable each day. Have
a peaceful evening, you deserve it.

Hot baths for everyone -----sounds just the ticket!

But after chasing "Mickey" around all morning, I think you should have had the glass of wine too!

Liz is right, Murphy is very lucky to have you as Mom! Just take things one step at a time and we will continue to pray that the biopsies are good news only!

As usual, Mama Logan has everything under control!! Here's hoping today's a little calmer! I hope Murphy's doing better today and Butter's behaving! And Honey, no more digging!!!

Wow, what a day you had!! Hope today is so calm, it's boring!!
Sorry to hear about the other ear. Praying hard for Murphy.

Logan....what wine goes with a good mouse chase....I can never remember...is it red or white?

[Logan]

Red or white will be fine, Sara!!!! Today has been so boring it isn't even funny!!! I might have even made some money today!!!

I will be thinking about Murphy when he has his surgery. Hope that everything goes well.

I was planning to happily report to you, tomorrow, that Murphy's bandages were coming off for good (wishful thinking on my part). Instead, I am taking her in this afternoon at 4 to be checked again. She has been agitated for two days now, just restless, and has been rubbing her bandaged head on anything she can. Twice, she has "bumped" Scott and me with the right side of her head and cried out in pain. And this morning, I have noticed a lot of staining on the bandage, which says "infection" to me, since the bandage is so thick and there is drainage showing on the outside. They instructed me to leave the bandage on until I get her there to prevent her causing any further damage.

The good news is that this past Thursday, I finally saw the results of the tests on the tumor and there is no malignancy! We are so grateful for that news.

Now, we have to hope that the infection is not too bad, and that our girl will be improving. It is so painful for me to see her out of sorts, and she has been the last two days. It will take a lot of convincing for me to ever believe that we should put her through this on her left ear, even if it does have the tumors too (and it does). At least the left ear is not infected at this point.

I'm trying not to overreact to this latest setback until Dr. Robinson can see her and analyze her himself this afternoon, but my heart just breaks for our senior girl. Please continue your good thoughts and prayers for Murphy. And I will update you when I can tonight.

Thanks.
Logan

It is wonderful that the tumors are benign!!!!
So sorry that she has to suffer through an infection, though. I hope that this can be cleared up quickly. Awaiting further news on dear Murphy. She (and her whole family) are in my prayers, of course!

Just a suggestion -

Ask Doc R about putting an E-collar on Murph.
It *might* reduce her desire (and ability) to *rub* the bandage on things and speed the overall healing.

Guaranteed she won't *like* the cone thingy - but it might be better if she wore one.

Prayers that she gets a good report after he sees her!!

Poor, sweet, confused, uncomfortable Murphy..... As always, Dr.R. will make her feel better soon. There's nothing more excruciating then the sound of a yelping pupster... I know she's getting lots of love and attention from all of you.....

[captain]

Oh sweetheart - you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

I am sure Dr R will fix everything for you, gorgeous girl

[anna_66]

Glad to hear no cancer, but sorry to hear about Murphy's infection. I do hope it is not too awfully bad. Phred had a good suggestion about the E-collar, granted she won't like it, but if it helps....

Prayers and best wishes for our beautiful Murphy girl! I sure hope Dr. R can get her back to her happy self very soon. Hoping for an encouraging report...We love you Murphy!
