A Round of Updates

Lucy~  It is almost two weeks since surgery and she was back at the Vet today.  The healing was going so well and Lucy was back to herself.  Unfortunately, last week she started to get fluid building up in her back where the tumor was.  We hoped with lots of TLC and ice packs her body would absorb it but instead it seemed to get bigger.  UHG!  Today they put a drain in her back and more stitches to help close the empty space in her back where the tumor and the fluid were.  Now it is back to trying to keep her calm and let her heal.  She has two small tubes sticking out of her back dripping blood for the next 5 days.  This is going to be a LONG 5 days.  I just really hope we can get this under control and she can be healthy before Denny and I leave for Utah. 

Baby Vigil~  It sounds like Hope and the baby are doing well.  Hope still has not made a decision about whether or not she wants to meet us, but right now it is looking like she probably will not.
