Teddy Surgery Update

As I write this, Teddy is still in surgery, but they should be finishing up soon. They did have to take a kidney. The tumor is very big and was all over the kidney. They could have left it and done chemo, but we're hoping they can get it all without having to put her though chemo. They are not saying there will be no chemo, but that's the hope. She's doing great through the surgery. More prayers for continued strength and lots of "not much pain" vibes for our little sweetheart, please.

Well, Teddy came out of surgery right around 4 pm. She was in surgery for about 4 hours. She is doing fine and will spend the next couple of days on some pretty heavy pain meds. It was quite an involved surgery and will leave a rather large scar on our girl, but they think they got the whole tumor. Chemo is still not being ruled out, but we're hoping they got everything with the surgery.

I will keep updating on her condition as I get updates.
