No real news yet. They changed the bandage and said its looking good. No test results yet.. I asked  about MRSA and the tech wasn't sure about exactly what all was being looked for. So when we go to visit later I will find out and fingers crossed hopefully test results will be back. Since I can't focus on much else I wrote out Reigns story up to this point on her blog. 

Thank you again everyone. 

What ever doesn't kill us makes us stronger right? While we were visiting Reign my mother had to take my daughter to the ER. She's ok! We thought kidney infection but she just has a virus so everything is ok. She 's 18 but as she puts it she's my only non fur baby lol

Our visit with Reign was far from the best. She wasn't happy to see us and wouldn't even look at me. She let my husband hold her but didn't try to walk or even wag her tail. She did eat a good bit for me. At one point she started fussing and we thought she had to pee so Steve sat her on the floor and she laid on her good side and screamed. I've never heard her scream in pain before.( Only when she was trying to get out of her nails being trimmed and that was all drama) It only lasted for a couple seconds but I think every emotion shot through me. Steve picked her back up and she was fine and ate a little more for me. Our visit was shorter than I wanted but she was due for meds and a warm compress. We told the tech about it and she said they haven't heard her cry out at all. So we have many ideas but that's it only ideas. Muscle spasm/cramp, the area where the absess is could be very uncomfortable, she could have needed her pain meds( they changed her schedule due to the cleaning and replacing ) or even phantom pain . I try to stay as positive as I could while we were there but it's hard when it seems like she has made a step backwards.

when I made my nightly check in call the tech said Reign was in her lap with a warm compress and had showed no signs of pain with her. She had been out to potty ( no poop since Monday)  and was walking good. She ate a couple bites of chicken for her but since she had eaten a good amount for us she wasn't concerned. So Steve spent most of the night trying to convince me we just visited at a bad time. This was the latest we've ever gone ( rush hour traffic yay!). I'm now waiting for the doctor to call so I can ask her about all of this. Today is 1 week since her surgery and I cant go see her today. Steve is working a 24 hour shift and there's no way I can handle a visit by myself and my daughter is still feeling pretty sick. But if she's not coming home tomorrow I get to see her. 

Ok update from Doctor.  Reign's bandage change was really good today. Yesterday she was slightly concerned since it wasnt completely  bleeding healthy. But today it looked really good. They will be keeping her until Monday and continue bandage changes Saturday and Sunday. I did finally get to ask about mrsa. Yes the culture she sent out is for everything. She did say mrsa was rare and the one they see more in animals is MRSP and that still isn't common. I can't help but think whatever it is she picked it up at that first vet that started all of this. They will compare the biopsy from the leg and the culture to see if whatever it is turns up in both.( Have I mentioned lately how much I hate that first vet!?! ) I mentioned the screaming that happened yesterday and she agreed it could be any of the things I listed but she's thinking that the wet to dry bandage does stick a little and she could've moved and it pulled. They've been watching/ listening since yesterday and she hasn't done it again.  They also didnt give her anything to wake her up after bandage change since they gave her sonething for pain so she could rest. So that woukd be the most likey reason she wasnt herself.

The doctor did tell me a funny story!

 When she came in this morning the tech had 4 or 5 beds piled up with our princess Reign right in the middle, looking quite proud of herself. The tech explained Reign needed a throne and wanted to make sure she was comfy. This was the same tech that talked to me for 25 minutes when I called this morning. So the doctor agrees that Reign has minions.

I have always referred to Reign as Princess but I'm starting to call her the million dollar dog! So Monday is the soonest she will be back home and hopefully my daughter will be feeling better tomorrow so I can go see Reign. If not Steve is going to go without me. I think I covered everything lol as I've said before the doctor gives me so much info it takes awhile to process everything
