And now we wait...

Camryn here:
Promise had surgery yesterday.  She'd had a cyst for many years, it'd come, it'd go.  Old Vet felt it was nothing, it didn't interfere with Promise way of going or anything.  It never gotted bigger than a chicken egg.  Ivy has always had a tendancy to grab Promise in that area and was probably the cause of it, then of course she was also the cause of it dissapearing as she'd pop it.
Suddenly in the coarse of maybe 2 weeks if that, the cyst became the size of a humans fist.  Mom tooked Promise into the new Vet.  He asperated it, not only did he not like what came out, but he discovered the reason it "appeared" so much bigger.  A huge mass had grown in underneath it.  He checked the asperated fluids and found no for sure cancer, but still it was suspisious stuff.  So they scheduled surgery to remove it all, plus while Promise was sleeping since she's not gonna be a Momma no more they was gonna spay her too. 
Yesterday was her surgery, while on the table Vet also found a mammory tumor so called Mom for permissions to take that too.  Poor Promise had three surgeries in one day!!!  She came thru fine and is being a very good patient...

Such a good girl...

OWIE, that looks ouchie...

Up close, she's got drain tubes.  When Mom went to get her she was like "and how do I pick her up to put her in the truck".  Seeing as Promise has three surgical sites it was gonna be rough for sure.  She's got some strong pain meds, gets warm compresses several times a day.  And Mom's been spending lots of time in the laundry room loving on her.

And now we wait...

Ivy waits outside the laundry hospital room for a glimpse of her best bud.  We wait for the pathology reports to come back praying that the masses are benign.  Adding some of your prayers for dear sweet Promise would be much appreciated.

 

A little back story on Promise:  On Chris first deployment to Iraq, he arranged for Mom to have a special Christmas present.  That present was our Promise.  Her full name is CH Pecan Valley EvryStarEvryStripe, her call name Promise is cause Chris "promised" to come home safe.  Promise is sweeter than sugar, never gets in trouble (unlike Ivy) she's always been a quiet girl even as a pupster.  She's not overly fond of fast moving kids, though she adores Lincoln.  She was the awesomest of Momma's too.  While she's not Ivy's Momma she might as well be.  Promise had pupsters the day after Ivy's litter was born to Mirage.  Mirage got tired of the whole pupster thing after three weeks and gave her pups to Promise to finish raising.  While Promise was a bit surprised having started with 5 pups and ending up with 9, she didn't hesitate and took them all under her paw.
