Hiii! It’s me! SOOKIE!
Mom has been back home since a week now, after being gone for 3 weeks! We all tought she would never come back! 😱
She brought a bunch of weird stuff with her. A cane, something that snips things from the floor, something she holds on to with wheels and that she walks with too. That one scares me though 🥵
The first few days back, mom cried a lot. I stared at her wondering why she was crying but my husis explained that mom had a lot of pain going on 😢
While she was in the hospital, we lost my furry sister, CALLIE. She was 19 1/2. We also almost lost JELLY who developed a sinus infection, 104F fever and spent a week at the clinic. Even the vet thought she wouldn’t make it… but she did! One morning, Sabrina sent a picture to mom in the hospital to show her JELLY’s head. Her sinus infection had made her develop 2 big abscesses above her right eye 😝. JELLY was on two antibiotics and pulled through. She is fine now 😃
Mom exercises daily and trains her legs and arms to be stronger. She said her back is not too bad; what is painful she said, is her left hip and leg. The doctor had to separate her muscle from her hip to get to her spine and she said that is causing her lots of grief.
When she saw him last week, he told her if she didn’t do the surgery, she was 3 months away from being in a diaper forever and 6 months away from being paralyzed and be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. What she had was more dangerous that open heart surgery. 😱😱😱 I don’t care how you put it but either one doesn’t sound good!
Unfortunately, to continue with mom being upset and cry, she told us our furry sister, Aspen, will cross the Bridge today. She was diagnosed with PLE. What’s that? Well, it’s protein-losing enteropathy. Aspen is wasting away and mom said she will not put Aspen through continuous testing, poking, etc, with a low rate of success. She has been crying since this morning because her baby girl will go Home today. She’s the goofiest, funniest little Maltese girl…
Please send mom some energy. She flat out of it right now.
