Izzys pacemaker surgery

Izzy is in the hospital now...pre-op work up being done along with cardiac ultra sound ...if everything is ok surgery is booked for the morning...please keep her in your thought and prayers...the most worrisome time will be until they get the external pacer in, then the anesthesia should be manageable until the actual pacemaker is implanted...The ophthalmologist is going to take a better look at her incision line where it has opened up a bit and some suture material is peeking out..she may just open it and re-suture while Izzy is under anesthesia...so many of the ICU staff recognized her and were coming out and telling her they didn't want any repeats of last visit LOL

upon arrival at the hotel...

    I will most definetely keep Izzy and you of course, in my thoughts and prayers Nabi. Please keep us posted. I know i would be a basket case if one of ours were going through all that. She is quite the little trooper. Give her a hug for me.

    The bionic pooch, that's Izzy! I'm sure the vet and staff will take the very best possible care of her. Fingers crossed, anyway. We'll be waiting to hear...

    just had a call from the cardiologist...some areas of concern were found...her blood work showed a low phosphorus again...it did back in Oct but now they are more concerned and she will be having further renal studies.....her U/S showed her right ventricle to be thickened and she has Pulmonary Hypertension...again further investigation will be done...they want to go ahead with her surgery, but wanted us to know it is now more complicated...so that little munchkin isn't making things any easier for her docs...
