Down But Not Out






As some of you may know our lives and house have sort of been on hold for a few days as we are caring for Chewbacca. We had to take him to VA Tech Vet School for surgery on his paralyzed throat...come to find out it was not paralyzed at all but that he had a large tumor obstructing his ability to breathe and swallow. After the first vet meeting discussing all the potential dangers of his procedure they were able to operate Friday with no problems whatsoever. He received highest marks for behavior and his recovery is going great. Thanks for all the prayers and concern. We should know today his biopsy results and how to further proceed. As for the house...I was able to finish half of the floors in our bedroom yesterday despite a trip to Tenn, some dog care, and sideways snow. It was one of those days where the pieces just fit and it was a spirit boost for sure. I got the slope finished on the shower floor so Chad can lay the pan and we can get this tile knocked out. Everything is starting to take shape upstairs but I find it a little unnerving having an area of our house that I am afraid of banging up. I am very nervous and careful upstairs and thrash around downstairs...I just have to keep reminding myself what floor I am on.
