Kayla went in for her pre-surgical evaluation today. Surgery is tomorrow. Thank you so much to all who donated-- We raised $1105 towards here surgeries--that's 17% of her total surgery cost. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you Aunti Joy, especially for such a generous donation.
Unfortunately, Michigan state seems unwilling to work with Orthodog Silver Lining Fund for any of the funding, though I plan to attempt to submit paperwork anyway and come to some sort of an arrangement. Also, special thanks should be given to my recentl late grandfather, Aubrey Earl Waller, who, in his death this Christmas, has made much of Kayla's work possible in the near future. As a student, I need to be very careful how I spend any money I receive, but Kayla's health is, as Mastercard would say, priceless!
Kayla was very good for the doctors today as the students practiced evaluating the health and deterioration of her joints through extension and prodding and comparing to the X-rays. When it was time for me to go, however, she pulled an old rescue game she has, called "Find Mommy." I was behind a large pillar in the billing room-- and it DID look remarkably like a tree (which is where "mommy" usually hides)-- She came out to me, and lay down on the other side of the pillar, having successfully found me. She refused to stand up and she refused to leave. The doctor had to drag her down the tile that way. It was unbearable. Please pray she recovers well enough and quickly enough to realize I really did walk away for her own good!! (for my sake as well as hers).
Thank you also for all of your prayers. I have pre-opoeration pics to put on the site as well as post op pics of her nifty pirate scars when we see them, so she can brag to all the other dogs about her brave, brave battle defending herself against the masked humans!
Please continue to share links to this blog and to www.oslf.org as well as www.IMOM.org, as they help a lot of animals in need, even if they do not work with Michigan State.
Sincerely,
Brett (Kayla's mom)
