Surgery is now behind Molly


Someone looks a bit nervous...
As so many of us waited and prayed all day for little Molly during her spinal surgery, Dr Scheuler worked a little harder than anticipated. The surgery was a bit more complicated, in that they had to free her spinal cord from bone and scar tissue and ended up putting in a bone plate.

She will be in the hospital a minimum of three days, possibly longer. Once back to her foster home with Lynette, Molly will be sedated, only allowed out of her crate three times a day for ten minutes. She will need to be in a small crate so she will have very little room to move around.

Her room is to be dark and quite with as little stimulation as possible. She will need a baby monitor for Lynette and family to monitor if she starts to stir or cry. Remaining calm and still for eight weeks will be a very long road ahead - a road we all pray will be worth it in the future.

Molly in good (and God's) hands: Dr Scheuler and assistant 
We have a few days before Molly comes home, so if anyone has a baby monitor or a small MESH crate that Molly could borrow, please let us know. You can comment below and contact GoldHeart and tell them you saw the need mentioned on Molly's blog.

Again, any financial help for Molly's expenses can be donated at http://www.goldheartorg/. Molly is featured on the home page with a donate button just for her!

It's amazing how so many are routing for this dear little girl. I was at a local book signing today at our UPS Store run by Kris (who actually was the one who got us all involved with Molly). Ironically the new book is called "Miss Molly and Me - Best Friends Forever" by Stacy Randal Self. A wonderful doggie story I'm anxiously looking forward to snuggling up and reading with the 'kids' over the next couple evenings. BUT the cool thing is: proceeds from the signing today are going to Molly's expenses.  Thanks, Stacy and Kris! You can purchase to book on Amazon.

Molly, Molly, Molly! we love you; we're praying for you; we're rooting for you; and want the ALL the best for you. Rest comfortably! Get stronger; Heal quickly! WE MISS YOU, precious pup!

  1. This makes me so sad! We have a baby monitor you're more than welcome to, but if anyone has one of the video ones where you can actually see her, that would be awesome!!
