We are thanking God, we are thanking YOU
for your prayers,
and we are thanking the
staff at Dr. Hodge's
clinic where an unbelievable
medical procedure
took place this morning,
saving our Chipper's
life!
He had a collapsing trachea and was in the
end and terminal stages of it.
We opted to have a non invasive procedure
done and you have to see the before and after
digital x-rays!
The red arrows point to Chipper's collapsing
trachea (the long thin shadow line) before
the stent was put in today. There was very
little space for air to pass.
He was turning blue when he got excited.
The red arrows now point to the new mesh
stent, which when inserted and opened up,
gives him a completely normal breathing space!
When they came out and told me it was over
and the stent was
perfectly in place and
working, I just about
lost it! Thank you
all for praying!
But then it got even better!
After we knew he
was awake and breathing
normally, we went
to lunch.
Dr. Hodges called
me and my heart sank.
He said, "He
is barking his little head
off. I'm going to
send him home! Come and
get him!"
Oh my! He is now home and breathing without
the panting or the honking!
I can't even remember not hearing him breathing
HARD and honking!
Remember, this is a procedure for end stage
collapsing trachea, where medical management
is no longer working.
He's a little stoned, but still wagging that
tail!
He came into the
house and up the
steps on
his own!
He is doing just
great!
Thank you for praying for us! All My Love,
Robin
Humphrey Sisco
Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006
When I first saw this beautiful picture of
Cheri Sisco's "Humphrey", I thought
it was truly the epitome of what we do, and
why we do it. I wanted to use this black
and white picture of Humphrey, taken only
days before his death due to congestive heart
failure, to let those who may be new to Small
Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without
Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known
love. He would have died in a kill shelter,
sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and
Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
