Decannulation

, we're one week away from decannulation! We cannot believe that it's happening so soon. We've been very worried because A has been struggling with some pretty intense respiratory issues. We weren't sure if she would recover in time for them to clear her for surgery. But, as of today, she's really starting to be her old self again. It's nice to see her perky. A new milestone's been achieved, too, since the nissen surgery in January: A is now 25 pounds. That's the most she's weighed in her life, and it marks a nine pound weight gain since she came to live with us. We're so proud. We'll keep you posted on the next surgery, which should be our last for a good while.
