Well, we’ve made it to Week Two! A big week for tripawd moms, the day the stitches come out! Dr. Brown said his incision looked great – stitches out & all healed. Dad dropped him off and he had his first round of carboplatin and he did really well. He also said we could reduce his tramadol to half his previous dose. One step closer to getting those icky pain meds out of his system. Unfortunately, I’m out of town for work, so it’s just the boys at home together – I imagine steak and in bed early! Dad reports that he was great & just seems a little tired – he’ll probably get to go to work with dad, which will make him so happy! We’re crossing our fingers for no side effects or nausea. I’ll be so happy to see him tomorrow night, by big strong handsome man (Porter, not my hubby – HA!)
Yay – no more stitches! That’s such good news. It seems like healing really takes off after that.
Best of luck with the treatments. Keep on healing!
Hugs and Wags,
Judy and Baby
