God love you, and prayers up! I understand your heart having just experienced the loss of my Maxwell. I can tell you this, my FRiends here helped me every step of the way and I could not have gotten through it without them. You and Mia are in good hands, the first being God and secondly the compassionate people of Free Republic. Read the posts, the sharing and uplifting messages are the best.
Thank you, Toespi. I’m so sorry about Maxwell. It’s hard. They just become so much a part of us.
It helps so much to know that there is that solid wall of prayer if I get scared or worry too much.
TalBlack & fieldmarshaldj, Thank you!
seeker41 & ColdOne, the neurologist called me as I was starting this reply.
NO BRAIN TUMOR!!!! Her brain isn’t normal, but it isn’t going to necessarily affect her quality of life. She said it looks kind of like Alzheimers, but it must translate differently in dogs. Miss Mu is a little too sharp for my own good. She made it through the anesthesia “just great”.
One more hurdle. They did a spinal tap esp since they really didn’t find anything & it *could* show meningitis or cancer (lymphoma) but I’m not as worried about that. Her bloodwork last week was great.
We get to see her between 9 & 10 & it’s going to be a little easer to get through the night. I imagine she’s going to stomp those little feet, but she’ll forgive me.
Thank you all so much for your prayers! I was very, very, very scared. A brain tumor had crossed my mind (What IF?) & Mia was acting funny about going to the vet last week & today, which isn’t like her & it scared me even more.
I am so grateful.
