I had found more blood in Sammy's poop last night & this morning, so off he went to see Dr.Murphy this afternoon. Dr. Murphy said they had done everything they could do to treat him so now the only thing to do was operate & try to find out what was causing the blood. He called us before we got back home & said that he found a tumor the size of a grape in his intestines. And near that site the intestine had ruptured & that was where the blood was coming from. Also right where the tumor was the intestine had looped over on itself. He removed the tumor & it will be sent off to a pathologist to find out what kind of cancer it is. He also straightened everything out & did microsurgery to stitch the intestine back up. I received a call from Dr. Murphy tonight telling me that Sammy had been awake awhile & was alert. He isn't exactly out of the woods yet, we have to see how well everything works. *s* But I am so vastly relieved that we know what was wrong & it was fixed. I have spent most of today crying over Sammy & have been worried sick. Thank God Sammy was fat, (his nick name was Many Bellies), because if hadn't have been with all the weight he lost he'd be almost gone. I thank everyone who has been praying for him ever so much. Thank you. Lynn & Clan War Weasels [Posted in FML issue 3296]
