AWESOME News! ! !

Lynette! You are saint! This is such great news about precious little Molly! God Bless!  

How to drive a golden retriever crazy in 10 seconds or less - Molly in her normal position on the box that she chewed. Marshmellow decided to get inside the box and have some fun with Molly - it has been too funny watching them.



It is such a joy to see Molly getting around like a normal dog! She wants to be outside all the time and runs and plays with the other puppies like the cart is not even attached. I wonder how she must feel being able to play and move freely. God love you Miss Molly!



Such a pretty girl !

Updates - Question on incontinence:  So far still incontinent but the neurosurgeon says that the feeling in her nerves can take months at which point we are keeping our fingers crossed - for the incontinence and that hopefully one day she will walk!

Maybe my Mom is smarter than me - now I can't lay down on the floor!

Is Santa coming today ? ?

Ha! Ha! I certainly have a lot of time to think being trapped in this cart. If she won't get me out of this position I will show  her.....I will eat my way out!

This is one little trooper!

I will show her......................."

Hanging in there :)

"Molly arrived home today and is furious with us. The vet told us to keep her in the cart all day and place something in front of her so she could rest her head. If looks could kill I would be a goner for sure !"

Oh Happy Day! ! ! !

"Molly is still at Dr. Scheuler's and the stitches have held for 24 hours which is the first time since last Monday. His office said she is in good spirits and she is eating fine. They are keeping her out by the receptionist desk during the day because she likes the company. The one thing that is funny is that Dr. Scheuler has an older chocolate lab and when he comes into the office he ignores Molly which is driving her crazy! She tries jumping up and down and barking at him to get his attention but he just walks by her and ignores her :-)"

Please send prayers!

12/11/11 From Lynette's Facebook:
"Molly had a rough day today and had to go back to Dr. Scheulers. Her stitches are coming out and will need to be restitched for the third time. God sent Molly an angel in the form of Barbara Noll who spent the day working with Molly in her cart, laying on the floor with Molly while she slept and when it became apparent Molly was going to have to go to Dr. Scheulers she evern took a detour and took Molly on her way home. Prayers for Molly please!"

Three updates from Lynette!

Friday, 12/9/11:
"Molly is home after a very, very long day! We picked her up from Dr. Schueler's this morning at 8:00 am and met a wonderful man named Rob there who then proceeded to transport Molly to Oxford, MD to get fitted for her new cart. The fitting took over 3 hours so we did not meet up again until 6:00 pm and finally arrived home (with the new cart) at 8:30 pm. Big thanks to Rob - he left his house at 4:30 am to meet us and still had over a 2 hours drive home after we met to get Molly. Talk about unselfish!"

Molly in her new cart - she is so hating life right now!

Now if I can just get her to walk in it -
this is going to be harder than I thought!

Rob has the Biggest heart for goldens of anyone I know. He is truly one of kindest, most  compassionate guys I know when it comes the these precious  pups!

Good and Bad News.

Again, bless Lynette - here is another update...

12-6-11: "Molly is doing well today and the best news is that Molly was in pain today and they had to give her morphine. No I am not crazy - the pain means she is getting some feeling and that is wonderful news!"

12/8/11: Quick update on Molly - she will be coming home tomorrow after getting fit for a cart. She has done great and the only bad news today was the results came back from the lab on the infection and she has MRSA. Needless to say we will have to take precautions to protect ourselves once she is home but we are still quite happy that she is coming home!

12/9/11: After quite a scramble, we were able to get Lynette some help with transporting Molly from Westminster to Oxford and back again. Due to some problems, Molly needed some help getting to all the various points she needed to go to today. 

After an email from me to my friend, Rob, who coordinates our Lancaster Golden Romps, for his assistance in sending out an email blast to all our rompers, Rob stepped up the plate and will be Molly's chauffeur today. Leaving his home in Lancaster, PA, picking up Molly in Westminster, MD, transporting her to Oxford, MD to get her new cart and then reverse (over 330 miles)! This man is a saint and has the heart of a golden retriever! God bless you, Rob! and all who are doing all they can for this special little girl. 

Please pray for Molly's healing (and Lynette's). May this MRSA thing be a non-issue and the cart be the start of Molly learning to walk, so she get eventually learn to do it on her own!

Tough little Molly / another hurdle

Update from Lynette's Facebook page: 

"This has been a rough few days - Molly's tail was badly infected which is normal for dogs who cannot walk on their hind legs and the neurosurgeon ended up removing her tail this afternoon. Molly made it through with flying colors and hopefully will come home with a cart when I pick her up Friday. As always, prayers for this amazing golden. Heidi and Hank were "fixed" today aand will come home tomorrow. It will be a quiet night at the Kaufmann's.
I am still sick - my husband wanted me to go to the hospital this morning but I quickly talked him out of that. Well - there is always tomorrow............"

Please keep all of them in your prayers!
