Pixie's Operation

This morning we took Pixie to the Veterinary Oncology Services in West Chester.  It was time to have Pixie's radiated cheek closed to the dirty atmosphere and to let her live normally as we do. 

We were met by her surgeon Dr. Dina Schofield and she talked about how the closing will take place.  Flaps of skin, now red, growing and healthy skin were to be used in covering her quarter size hole.  We bathed this area after eating each morning and night.  Pixie has grown tired of this, the pressure water and the doggie antiseptic added at the last of the swabbing.

At 4 PM Dr. Schofield called to say that Pixie was resting comfortably and she will spend the night at their facility.  We know the personnel will take better care than what we can.  They have all the drugs and machines to keep her happy.  Dina said she would call tomorrow morning to let us know how she is doing.  For weeks we have been praying for Pixie's complete recovery and waiting to hear the good news that GOD will provide.
