Sophie's Surgery

Our sweet, Sophie had surgery this past Saturday to repair her torn ACL in her left knee. She had hurt it back in February while running and playing in the front yard. She was doing well, but it would get aggravated when she became very active and played. We decided to take her to College Station to have Greg's old college roommate, Kyle Bostick repair it. Kyle is an Aggie Vet and owns his own practice in Aggieland.

The surgery was routine and went smoothly. Greg was even able to watch. The kids and I hung out with Kyle's wife, Shaina, and their 13-month-old daughter, Kylee. Kyle and Kylee had a lot of fun. Kylee is such a tiny cutie and is very feisty. She bossed Kyle around all day.

Sophie spent the night at the vet clinic and Greg picked her up on Sunday. She is restricted to her crate for 2 weeks. She has 13 staples in her incision which Greg will take out after 10 days.

She has anti-inflammatory and pain meds, so she is comfortable. We do range-of-motion exercises with her knee three times a day and let her out and cuddle with her when the kids are asleep.

Please keep her in your prayers. She is our first baby and we adore her. We know that she'll be back to running the BT 500 around the house here in a month or so.
