Quick Update

Just a quick little update: Patrick has recovered very well from his surgery and can eat anything now! We cooked steak on Friday night with Kat and Dave (though our evening was cut short) and have been eating tenderloin and baked potatoes this week! He has to get a stitch from one of his incisional sites taken out tomorrow, but other than that he is good to go! I'm so thankful to have my hubby back!!!
  *Graphic, beware*
After a rough weekend with Wrigley who was pooping just blood that smelled horribly, he is on the mend too! Poor Kat and Dave had to chill out at our house instead of our planned game night after dinner while Patrick and I took Wrigley to the emergency vet clinic where they gave him some fluids and flagyl. It was a long night, but we got some more Flagyl and two other medications to give to Wrigs to clear up all his issues. Good thing we won't have to have any more elective surgeries since apparantly anesthesia and certain pain medications do not agree with our baby. I'm just glad we are over it all!! I have never been so excited for regular poop before!!

Going Under the Knife

Well, my baby celebrated his birthday on Thursday and unfortunately, he couldn't eat any cake! Patrick loves a low key birthday and we opened his gifts after enjoying some Jack Bauer of 24. To solve Patrick's problem of not being able to eat any cake (technically, he hasn't really had a meal since the weekend after St. Patrick's Day), we met with a general surgeon and scheduled his lap chole for Tuesday morning. We are hoping that this will solve all of his problems not being able to eat after having his gallbladder removed. I'm not going to lie, I really wish I could sit in on his surgery, but I don't think it will be allowed. The lap chole should be a simple outpatient procedure unless something goes on terribly wrong and they would have to convert it to an open procedure. Let's pray for everything to go well and Patrick to have a smooth operation and soon be able to start eating again!
I love this man so much and I hope we can get him feeling better and then we can celebrate his birthday with some sushi and friends soon!
Please keep Patrick in your prayers this week! Thank you!
