MIDNIGHT IS OUT OF SURGERY AND DOING FINE!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I have goosebumps right now.  I just heard from Jacquie, and Midnight is out of surgery, and his prognosis is excellent.  As many of you know, they had to postpone the surgery yesterday because he had a skin irritation, and they needed to be sure there was no infection.  The surgery today took four hours, and four surgeons operated on him.  I haven't stopped thinking about this poor guy, and it's a huge relief that it's over.  He should now live a full and happy Doodle life without pain.  Our "blanket drawing" is planned for tomorrow evening...we'll have a video of Daisy picking the winner, and we'll post that here in a discussion. 

Again, thanks to all our wonderful "Midnight supporters".  Santa came a little early to this lucky guy!

Jane, thanks for keeping us updated. Did they do both hips at the same time???

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

No, they just did one hip. We'll have to wait a while to see what's going to have to be done with the other one.

Yippee Doodle...Midnight got his new hip!!! I almost want to get on a plane and come visit him when he is up and around!!! Hugs to you Midnight wherever you are and to all those who have helped you and are nursing you back to good health! Hugs to Ms. Daisy too...she must be beside herself without Midnight.

The latest update is that our Midnight is up and trying to WALK! Yes, there is a Santa Claus!

What a strong Spirit this boy has!!! Wow!! Is it OKAY for him to walk so soon???

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

The sooner the better for him and a better range of motion and use as I understand it.
