Binx update

[Cinder & Smoke]

With some GOOD Vibes about Mr. Binx!

"I have been quiet, haven't I?
Just lots going on, busy at work, busy at Binx'ville, busy...

Binx had some sir jury late yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Auvil and the hooman periodontist did it...
$1500 dollars worth. YIKES!
But, I had the money ear marked for the surgery.
It was mostly biospy work, though they did some stuff to a
small section, using steriods, and removal of teeth.

I visited last night about 830,
but, Dr. Auvil thought an overnight was best.
Binx lifted his head when he heard me, but,
he was really still out of it.
So, I picked him up at 10, and he was glad to see me,
and wanted to go home!
I took him home and stayed for a few minutes, gave him some wet food,
and came back to work.
I will go home at 5, so, he really won't be alone long, 5 hours.

I mailed three sample packs last night, and all three have recieved them.
I mailed two more this am, as I didn't have all the special boxes I needed.
They will get them tomorrow am. Dr. Auvil is sending some tissue
to a local cancer doc here, for comment, and some lab work.
I am mailing some xrays to this guy in New Jersey.
He is the guy I think I want to do the sir jury.
I am going to drive to him....
he has said Binx and I can 'board' with he and his wife.

So, by mid february, I really hope to have some sort of plan lining up.
This gives the people studying the tissue a chance to comment.
So, of the 150 letters I sent out, I narrowed it down to 7-8 people
that I now consider 'critical' to Binx's health, excluding Dr. Auvil
and the surgeon here. I hope all the minds will come up with some plan.

Monte, the newest state, was nuetered on Tuesday. What a vet week this was!
He has made a full recovery.
Too full! He is such a NawTeeKat.
He chases and chases Allie, Georgia and Minnie around.
Well, he doesn't chase Minnie, since she doesn't run, but, still,
he bothers her.

That is my life right now. Pretty anxiety filled with the pets....
I just keep reminding myself that this, too, will pass.
I just want Binx healthy.
I think about him nearly every hour of my day.
It is kind of emotionally wearing, you know?

Thanks for asking! /s/ Johanna"

Thanks for the update

I got tired from reading about everything that Jo's been doing; I can only imagine how exhausted she is! I'm glad it was good news and there's a team ready to help Binx to the next phase. Will keep sending good thoughts to Jo, Binxy and the states

I was just wondering how Binx was doing. I'm so glad to hear his surgery went well. Thanks for the update.

[Kater]

I have been hoping for a Binixe update!

I am so glad that the tremendous effort put into those letters has yielded some results. I only wish you were coming to Wisconsin instead of New Jersey! Phooey!

Prayers for a full & speedy recovery, Binx!

LOL @ Monte the NawTeeKat!

And please don't forget to take care of yourself too, Johanna!!!

Anyway, Thanks for the update Phred (and Jo). I have been thinking baout Binx this week and wondered where Jo has been. Glad to hear things are moving ahead. I hope this will help determine what is going on with Binx and how he can be help. We all want him to get better.

Hang in there Binx, We all love you!!


Hugs to the states as well!!!

Oh wow! I missed this thread while I was on vacation. I've been wondering about Binx, and it sure is good to hear you recieved so much response. Your strong devotion to your pets really touches my heart. Speedy recovery to Binx! Wow! You've been busy this week. Now I know why you haven't been online! I've missed you! Keep us updated, and take care of Binx, the kitties, as well as yourself!

*hugs*

Ps. I love Binx's new food bowl!

[mugsy]

Oh yeah!! I'm glad he's recovering and they have some direction. That means that Binxy should be feeling much better by the time we go to Findlay!!

Thanks for the update Jo and John.

[dukedogsmom]

It's almost the end of January so let us know if he's had the surgery. I'm so glad he has someone like you to love him and take care of him. Best of wishes.

Hey BINX ~

How are you and Monte feelin??

Hope your both getting back to "normal" ~
With You and Monte chasing the Herd.

Well, today is Sunday, and Binx's sir jury was on Wednesday night. Other than breaking open the one suture that closed a half inch hole, bleeding on and off cause he won't leave the chew toys alone, eating five cups at a time, and pulling me all over in the snow, Binx seems pretty back to normal. He is still taking antibiotics, and the vet said there really isn't anything to do about the stitch coming loose, and he can do whatever he can tolerate. So, we are back to normal. I **think** we can expect results from various people mid February. I will call the doctor in New Jersey later this week, and ask him about the xrays I sent him, and try to figure out a time to drive on over there. Why does it have to be so snowy in the winter, WHY? It might make driving a bit precarious.

Monte is Monte, but, I think he has worms. UGH. The antibiotics he was on after his nueter seemed to bring them out, if you know what I mean. So, we will call the vet tomorrow. Fun.

So glad to hear that dear Mr. Binx is healing well after his sir jury...even if he did pop a tooth on his zipper! I hope and pray, Johanna, that all of your hard work will pay off... and finally Binx will get the treatment he so desperately needs. What a devoted furmom you are and what a brave boy the Binxster is BIG hugs to you Binx!

And many thanks Phred for the update, too!!!

[mugsy]

Thanks Jo! I'm glad Binx is feeling like himself. Sorry about the worms for Monte. Let us know when you hear from NJ! Give the brood a hug from the Kendalls.

Jo, hugs to you across the miles!
