Postponing Surgery

Annie is keeping us on our toes this week. She was scheduled for her spinal fusion surgery on Monday, but on Wednesday this week she had terrible seizures for 3 hours requiring two rescue meds, developed a temperature of 104.4, and was in the ER last night. We've kept her in isolation the last 2 weeks to prepare for this surgery, yet she still managed to develop a viral infection. With this surgery being so risky anyway and requiring 8-9 hours under anesthesia, the risks are way too high to proceed on Monday with her in this condition. The surgeon has rescheduled her spinal fusion for December 9th. I'm hoping we can survive 4 more weeks of high anxiety and stress leading up to this and that Annie can get (and stay) healthy and strong this time!
