Honey Status

Several people have asked me, so thought I better get a Honey update put out. Haven't updated yet as there really isn't a whole lot to tell at this point. Here is where we currently stand. We took her to Dr. Rachel in Indianapolis. Dr. Rachel put her under and manipulated her knees and hips etc., to see what her opinion was. She was of the impression that the type of surgery that she was planning to do, which is a suture procedure, would not benefit Honey at this time. She felt that her knees were stable. That they were possibly partially torn, but not completely torn. That at some point in the future it might be necessary if they completely tear, but at this point not. She did mention another type of surgery that might possibly help. I went back to Indy and picked her up and the following week made an appointment with a surgeon in Cincinnati about the TTA surgery. He was of the opinion that she did need the surgery on both knees and that she would benefit greatly from it. However, he would not want to perform the procedure until she was around 1 year old. That isn't until the end of June. The bones in her knees need to be completely hardened before they do that surgery or it could fail. Jacquie is in the process of also forwarding all of her records to a Surgeon in TX that has done some great work for them in the past to get an opinion from him. So, right now Honey is just happy as can be playing with Lucy and AnnaBelle and getting loved on by every single person she meets in Ohio. She is a doll baby. Rest assured that she is going to get whatever procedure they determine will be the most beneficial for her.
