Prayers Answered
Let me first start this post by thanking all of our family and friends who prayed for us. Friday, April 1st, was a dreaded day for our family. Owen and Tyson were both having surgery. My mom came down for the weekend to help us out - thank goodness for her! We were a nervous wreck, especially for Tyson... BUT our day went better than we could have ever expected!
The day started at 5 a.m. Chuck, Owen and I headed out to West Boca for Owen's eye surgery. We had to be there by 6 a.m. Owen didn't even know what to do with himself... if you know him, you know he is a sleeper (great for mommy and daddy!)!! So, despite him being a little cranky since we woke him up super early, overall he was great. The whole entire thing only took two hours. And during recovery, he got to try his first popsicle ever. He loved it :)
So, since we were in and out in two hours, we called my mom to tell her to meet us with Tyson, our dog. She was going to be the one to take him to the vet for his surgery because we thought we'd still be in Boca with Owen. We were so happy we'd be able to see him before he had the procedure done. We were warned that this was an invasive surgery that takes a 15 day recovery... and for the first two days he would need to be kept in a very quiet place as he would be in a great deal of pain. He also needed to stay overnight at the vet. So knowing all of this, we were very upset for him and nervous. Again, if you know us, you know that Tyson is a MAJOR part of our life and has been for 7 1/2 years.
Anyways, let me get to the amazing part of this whole day - Four hours after dropping Tyson off, I got a phone call from the vet. Initially, I was scared to death when I first heard her voice because I knew she shouldn't be calling for at least another few hours... so of course I thought something must have gone wrong. BUT, to my surprise, she told me that following some routine procedures before the actually surgery, they decided against the surgery!! They said the medicine started to actually work and they could see improvement!! So,she decided that she would instead put him on perscription food and he'll be checked every two months for I guess the rest of his life as this condition can be life threatening. However, just knowing that there has been improvement (without surgery) was such wonderful news to hear.
PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED!!!!!! :)
Here are some pictures from this day...
And so our weekend ended up being a fun one...
