Prayers and good thoughts requested for Marta's surgery *Week 5 Update #48!!*

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Thanks for all of your well wishes. I really appreciate it.

I took Marta in to the vet about half an hour ago, and I will not see her till Friday morning. They said I should call around 2:30 today though to see how she is. That will be about the time she is coming out of the anesthesia.

I figure I will distract myself today and tomorrow by buying Marta some "get well" toys and treats!

[Giselle]

Oh no!! All paws and fingers crossed here for Marta's fast and safe recovery!!!

I am glad everything went fine, it will be Friday before you know it.

[Freedom]

First -- the MAJOR -- hurdle crossed, hooray! Now to work on the recovery and physical therapy. Glad things are making progress for sweet Marta!

I'm so happy to hear the surgery went well!! Hope your recovery is swift Marta.

[Taz_Zoee]

Woo Hoo! Glad everything went well. And look, we are even closer to Friday now.

Welcome home Marta! Everyone is SO happy you are back & your little surgery went well. Now try very hard to understand mom is keeping you "secluded" for your own good, sweetie, so you can heal perfectly. We send belly rubs & ear skritches, & kissies, sweet girl!

She is home now!!

She is her same old self, which means it will be hard to keep her from wanting to be normal for a while! The other pets were super excited to see her, Vallis RAN in after being let out from his crate and tried to figure out how to get in her pen with her. (I bought her a pen with windows so she can relax on her bed and see all the action and not be stuck in a crate all the time).

I gave them all some bully sticks to calm things down for a while, so they are all in their spots chewing away. I'm so glad that Marta is home and she is doing so well.

Now I just need to remember to give her her 8 pills a day (4 twice a day, various antibiotics and pain relief meds) and do her exercises. I'm so happy!!!

Thanks for all of your well wishes and support, Marta and I really appreciate it!!!

I will get some pictures of her later.

It's now been 5 weeks and Marta is doing great! We can go for longer and longer walks around the neighborhood (there is some snow on the ground so she especially enjoys them as she gets to roll around in snow) and she is no longer confined. We just have the couch blocked off so she doesn't do any jumping up.

She had a check up a few weeks ago and the vet said she is doing great! She has her 6-week check up next week and I'm sure all will go well again.

Oh, that's great news. I'm so happy for Marta & you too. I hope she
continues doing so well.

Good to hear Marta is doing well!

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so glad to hear that Marta is recuperating so well. It sounds like you are doing a great job of balancing out the proper rest and exercise. I will send out good thoughts for a good check up next week.

That's great news! I hope and pray you continue to do well Marta.
