Lucy will have the stitches from her inner eyelids removed tomorrow. We will see how she is healing from the melting ulcers on her corneas. Hopefully, she will not lose her eyes. We have trained her for the past three weeks in preparation for bad news. If her corneas are in bad shape, and she does not regain her sight, she is ready.
I will be honest. It has been difficult. Psychologically, Lucy has been a mess. Physically, she has really suffered, too. It has been hard encouraging her to keep going. Watching her confused and hurting, it has been tempting to just leave her on the couch or our lap. Instead, we've tried to help her adapt and to make her healthy again.
Yesterday was actually our first good day in over five weeks. Lucy did not have any periods of anxiety. Going outside to tinkle wasn't too scary. She ate her meals and wandered around the house with confidence. She went to bed without issues. It has been sooo long since we've had a good day. I'd guess our last good day was when we posted the pictures of the dogs at Lowes hardware. I hope tomorrow is a good day, too and that we hear some good news.
