Hi All, Well Lightstar is out of surgery and recovering great! The Doc said he had a spleen larger than that he sees in 15 lb. dogs and he was quite shocked by it. So out it came. It was large enough to cause problems by putting pressure on other organs. He said there were no visible signs of cancer but we are still having it biopsied just to be sure. Now would all of you that have ever had a baby that had it's spleen removed please write and tell me if you did anything special as far as treatment for them. He is already on Silver Wings Colloidal Silver and will stay on it now for the rest of his life. Also the vet said he really felt that he and probably Racy are more around 2 to 3 years old rather than 1 years old like the creeps that sold them to me said they were. I had my suspicions about that too. Well Mr. Mike Chapman there is that unreasonable miracle you said I was asking for! I want to express my deepest thanks to all of you that were saying prayers for us and supporting me in this time of crisis. It helped a great deal to have you all out there thinking of us and truly caring about us. I have never had so much support and comfort from so many people in my life. Special thanks to Gary Holowicki and Charlene Lowe who were there for me 24 hours a day and even offered to let me call collect if I needed to. You guys are really wonderful people and I think the whole world should know that! (Sorry if that embarresses you guys but well, you deserve it!) I am most thankful to GOD for understanding and not taking a second baby from me so very soon. THANK YOU ALL! Kelleen & The INSANE Animal House [Posted in FML issue 1428]
