Almost 4 Weeks Out!

Tomorrow marks 4 weeks since Henrietta's TPLO surgery. She is recovering well from her incision reaction from the end of last week. The opening at the top of her incision has closed up and scabbed over, and the redness and swelling are nearly gone. She is walking well now, almost like nothing ever happened! Corey and I are simultaneously thrilled and relieved that Henrietta is going to come through this with much more function in her right leg than she did when she had surgery on her left knee. We are still trying to use her leg brace to stabilize the left knee, but I think the top of the brace might be too big, and it's allowing her knee to slide by not being able to hold the top of her thigh like it should. We'll be contacting the company that made it to find out if there are adjustments that we could make to the brace, or if we need to send it in to be reshaped.

In other news, we received a donation from the wonderful, awesome, fantastic Jay. A great big THANK YOU goes out to you! We have placed your name on the "Henrietta's Heartfelt Helpers" Donor wall, which you can see here:



This brings out total amount of donations received to: $708.80, and $10.00 proceeds from my Etsy shop! Henrietta's medical bills so far add up to: $5458.56. Our gratitude goes out to everyone who has donated, shared our story, and send loving notes and thoughts.

We still have a long way to go, and we need your help! If you are able to, please consider donating. Even a single dollar helps! Use our Paypal button below:




Or consider purchasing an item from my Etsy shop. I am adding new products as fast as I can, and I also take requests! The latest item added, The Squeaky Bone Chew Toy, has been personally tested by Henrietta (pictured above), and she found it to be fun and durable! All of the proceeds from my sales go directly to Henrietta's medical bills.
