Imelda Update

Last Thursday was a 12-hour, nerve-wrecking day. We found out that our Doberman, Imelda, has liver disease. We hate for her to have any sort of problem; but we are grateful that she didn’t have a heart problem, an issue with her spleen, or a cancerous mass. We're thankful that we didn't receive any news that would have had her "put to sleep."

A biopsy, anastesia, and surgery would be too risky for Imelda. She will be taking new medicines to help treat the liver disease. When you think of us, please pray for Imelda and her liver, because it still is a serious thing. But I know that nothing is too hard for The Lord. He can bring healing to her... He can help her still go on to live a good life. As long as she feels good, she will keep on living, and we want to make the most of every day of her life... Which is what we really should all be doing, all the time, for all of our lives and loved ones.

Today is a happy day in Imelda’s life. We received news from the vet that she does NOT have lymphoma, so we are grateful for this good report. Knowing this gives us more clarity regarding what medicines Imelda can take to help her.

Also on this date - June 30th - we brought Imelda to our home in Augusta, GA. Our family drove to Canton, GA (near the Tennessee border) to get her, and as you can see from the photos, the seating arrangements haven’t changed in 8-years!

Thank y’all for caring about Imelda and praying for her.
