She lives.

More than that, prayer works. Blood loss was minimal. She kept her female plumbing. Everything went much, much better than expected.

Cutting was minimal. Prayer worked for that too. Instead of a hip to hip cut, they were able to make a small belly button to hip bone cut. She is going to be in the hospital for a couple of days. I am home alone.

The dog is not well. She is a nervous wreck. She has been gnawing her feet while I was gone... Her toenails are all cracked and bloody. She is doing better now though.

Many, many thanks.
