Thank you all so much. Chester is doing ok, 'resting well' as they say.

They have a catheter in him and he did fine with the anesthesia. Now if his Mommy could just settle down. I've been doing laundry, washing dishes and just about everything else I can think of to keep busy. I'm a nervous wreck! I know in my heart that he'll be ok, but as Aly said we have a very special bond. When he was about 9 weeks old he inhaled his puppy kibble and didn't chew one. Well he started stumbling around and suddenly his eyes rolled back and I knew he couldn't breathe. Well I am normally not able to stay calm in those situations. I panic over everything. This time I calmly grabbed Chester and gave him a little puppy heimlich (sp?) maneuver and out popped the piece of kibble. He stood there for a split second and then scarfed down the offensive piece of food and went straight back to the bowl! After that, we crushed his food for about a month until he was big enough to eat properly.

So you see, he's my world, my heart, my everything. I'd give up ANYTHING for my little boy!

I'll let you all know tomorrow if they're going to do the surgery then, or if we'll have to wait. I think our vet will get him in right away; he's a great vet and a kind person.

Thank you for all your prayers and kind thoughts. Keep 'em coming, my baby needs them!
