Austin is doing great from his surgery on Monday. Samara had her surgery yesterday, Weds. She is doing quite well. X-rays were taken. She has quite complex fractures of her left elbow. Also both the tibia and fibula on her rear right leg are fractured. Here's the treatment---surgery was done and a pin put in the front leg. It was quite an extended surgery due to so many bone fragments. But, after 2 hours, Dr. P felt like it will be successful. She needs pen rest for weeks. This pen rest will also help with her rear leg. Her rear leg fractures are in alignment, so we will "let them be". Chances are high that they will mend just fine without surgery or a splint if she continues to do bed rest. She is resting comfortably today--sleeping alot. Samara is also getting pain meds on a timed schedule.
Today we are expecting the arrival of Tiny Tim. He's the 6 week old CH kitten from Staten Island. They should arrive here early afternoon. We're waiting excitedly for his arrival. Jennifer will be bringing him--she played a big part in Joey and Thomas' rescue. She's very happy to be seeing them again!
Very possible we will have a surprise auction on two of the birthday boys trivets/coaster--one for each. We're trying to get these up on fb chatters very quickly. It will end at 6:00 this evening.
