Remy is out of surgery

[kim n the guys]

Kendra just called me and said that Remy is snoozing away in the nursing care unit. Dr. Sanders' suspicions were right and he couldn't go ahead and do the balloon plasty to open up Remy's arteries because his coronary artery is abnormal and it would be too risky for Remy, which is exactly what I wanted him to do. So I will pick him up tomorrow morning at 9 and bring him home. Dr. Sanders did tell me yesterday that a years ago he had another bulldog present like Remy (healthy, active, strong) and who also had an abnormal coronary artery and he stopped the procedure and woke him up to go home and that bulldog is now 10 years old!!! Gives me hope for Remy and Sebastian since they both have the same thing but neither one of them look or act sick.

thanks everybody for the prayers, good thoughts and what not!!! I can breathe a little easier now.

I am happy he is out of surgery and waking up. I can't wait to hear he is in your arms again. He will do fine, I am sure of it! We will remember this when we all celebrate his 10th birthday!

Big hugs to Remy and best wishes for a long and happy life for him and his heart!

I'm so happy he will soon be home. And now you know what you are dealing with. You know..there are no guarantees with any of our babies..a great reminder to live and love them each and every day!

Kim, Remy will soon be home with his family and most certainly will live a long life! I'm sure your vet told you, but keeping his weight down is going to be very important.

 

[gunnyboy]

all he needs is your love and he will live a normal life, glad hes coming home

another update: Kendra called me again and said he's fully awake and doing his little side wiggle and wants to play. She also asked if I wanted to put him on beta blockers like I have Sebastian on even though they are both asymptomatic at this time and there is no definitive proof that they will prolong their lives, the beta blocker will help their hearts function better. I say any little help is better than nothing.

Yep, I know and when we weighed him Wednesday night and he already weighs 50#, I was a little concerned, but I know I'm not over feeding him and he is still a puppy and growing. Lisa's also reassured me that he was always the biggest puppy and he def loves to eat. He gets 2 1/2 cups of dry kibble a day, plus whatever scraps he snarfs from Oliver and Sebastian's bowls when they are done, which is not much, believe me. I'm not a big "treater", so occassionally they will get 3 or 4 green beans and a baby carrot or two, but probably only once or twice a week.

Sebastian is only around 40 pounds, but he's also much smaller in stature as well.

I think Remy is going to end up looking more like Oliver based on what Lisa has said his dad looks like and I've seen pictures of Molly.
