Surgery & Sickness
June 10, 2011, Maggi had yet another VEPTR II lengthening. Everything went well, and Maggi came home the same day. We were a little worried for a few days because the incision site looked really rough and purple! After a visit back to Dr. Devito’s office, he told us that the purple roughness was a new kind of skin glue he had used over the incision. So our minds were set at ease.
Maggi also ran a fever for about 3 1/2 weeks. We were worried about that, too, but were told that it was “just a bug”… but we monitored her temperature almost hourly to make sure it never got too high. Not fun to do, but necessary. She was given meds when needed to keep her fever from going too high, and luckily it never got over 101. So we were all lucky there.
Maggi’s doing very well now, eating like a horse again… playing like usual!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers… and stay tuned… the NEW mower raffle information will be coming at you soon!!
Much love to all!
