๐ Update on Lala ๐
Weโre thrilled to share that Lala's surgery on Monday was a huge success! ๐
During surgery, we confirmed that her stomach had twisted and had somehow been like this for 5 months, an absolute miracle she made it this farโa serious condition that also shifted her spleen and compromised its blood supply. Our surgical team performed a gastropexy (suturing the stomach back into place), and made the critical decision to remove her spleen due to concerns about its viability.
Lalaโs stomach was 10 times larger than normal, and our biggest concern post-op has been potential nerve damage affecting her digestion. However, thanks to a strict medication regimen and round-the-clock care, her stomach is now contracting and emptying on its ownโa very promising sign!
๐ซ Sheโs in amazing spirits, full of life, and truly a delight to care for. Weโre hopeful sheโll be ready to go home early next week!
๐ Thank You for Your Support
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has already contributed to Lalaโs BackaBuddy campaign. Your generosity has made this life-saving surgery and her ongoing care possible.
