My mom and I made the trip to Columbia today and met with Dr Selting and the senior vet student. Sam was really nervous and kind of grumpy that he couldn’t have food or water. The exam went kind of as I expected and we went through all the explanations of options. We had blood tests, a biopsy run. The biopsy is to confirm the OSA.
Sam stayed there for all of the tests while we had lunch at Panera. We were told 2 hours, but it ended up being 3. We got a call from Sarah that the biopsy had come back as consistent with OSA, confirmed by the cytologist as OSA. They wanted to do the next step of the bone scan. As I write this, we are on the way back home while Sam becomes less radioactive from the bone scan. I pick him up tomorrow in Columbia after orientation for Summer school. It’s going to be a long summer of driving back and forth. I hope.
Waiting:
It was so nice chatting with you yesterday, sure sounds like things are moving along. Whatever plan you come up with, remember that Sam will love you no matter what.
Curious to hear what the bone scan report came up with. Keep us posted OK? We’re thinking of you.
