Maddie went to U of P for her 3 month check up on Tuesday.  She had been a little down the past week, running a fever and having some allergy problems and conjunctiviits.  We took her to our regular vet who put her antibiotics and benadryl.  She was still down on Monday so we took her back and he ran blood work.  Her white cell count and something else we slightly elevated but not enough to show any concern.  When we got to U of P on Tuesday, October 20th they ran her chest rads.  After hours of waiting they came down to talk to us and as soon as they took us into a private room we knew that it wasn't good news.  The osteosarcoma has spread to her lungs and they said that there isn't anything else they can do for her but to focus on giving her the best quality of life for as long as possible.  They couldn't give us any type of time frame other than anywhere from a few weeks to several months:(  She has several small nodules and one large nodule on her lung.  She is on Tepoxalin for the inflamation and fever and it actually seems to be working pretty well.  She's been up, happy and eating since Wednesday which is really good.  They gave us tramadol for pain when it is needed but it does cause drowsiness and we don't see any indication that she is in pain right now so we are holding off giving it to her until she needs it.  I can't even begin to tell you how my heart is broken.  I just can't even imagine my life or being in this house without my Maddie girl.  Please keep her in your prayers and please pray for us to know when her time has come.  I think that's going to be the hardest part of losing her.  I just am dreading having to make that decision:(  Thanks for everyones kind words and thoughts as we gone through this these past 10 months.  If anyone has any past experience on what I can expect I would appreciate it.  Thanks….
