Some good news for a change :)

Earlier this week, the vet school called to let us know that they would be calling in an antibiotic for Heidi because some bacteria grew on her cultures.  I was very excited to learn that it only grew on the tissue and wire cultures.  No bacteria on the pin!!!!  That is what we were hoping for, because the pin actually entered the bone, and bone infections can be reeeeeeally bad.  The wire and the soft tissue, of course, were on the outside of the bone.  I am really hoping and praying that this last surgery and antibiotic fixes all of Heidi's problems, and she can get back to being a (fairly) normal dog!
