I post this song for my dog Brandi, who today was
surgically opened up for a biopsy on her liver.
Brandi’s liver enzymes for the past four months have been getting higher
and higher. A year and a half ago she
had a similar liver problem and after IV at a doggy hospital and antibiotics
and special diet she recovered. It was a
near death experience for her back then.
I think I blogged about it, but that was at the J’s Café blog, which is no
longer available for me to provide a link.
We never did identify the cause back then, but since she recovered, we
moved on, though monitoring her liver through blood tests.
This time she has not recovered from the same
medication, and so we decided that we needed to do a biopsy. When they opened up her belly, the only
unusual thing they noticed was that her spleen had several nodules on it, and
so they removed it. I guess one can live
without a spleen. Otherwise the
biopsy went well. She is currently
recovering. It will take a few days
before we learn the results. Yes, the
past couple of years have been expensive, but Brandi is a love and joy. All we can do right now is pray.
Here’s this wonderful song.
Here’s Brandi and yours truly, back in 2006 when
Brandi was three. She just turned ten.
St. Francis of Assisi, please pray for Brandi.
