Sitka is in Surgery
The Dr. called from UGA. They sedated her for the CT exam. It showed one ruptured bullae but given the amount of air surrounding her lungs, that indicates that there is another rupture somewhere but it didn't show on the CT. So instead on pulling her out of sedation, they are going ahead with surgery. They will insert a fluid into her lungs to find the other rupture(s). Kind of like putting soapy water on a car tire to see where the leak is. They think this was caused by "bullae disease" but in her case, it was spontaneous (as they see this more in trauma patients - such as being hit by a car, etc). Good news is the doctor said, and I quote, "There is a 90% chance this will not happen again." And it wasn't caused by any of the other bad stuff, like cancer, etc.
They will touch base with us after surgery, and throughout the evening as she is in recovery.
Send those prayers....

I am purring my hardest for my dear friend Sitka. I know she will get through this!
I have only just read about Sitka and wanted to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope they are able to repair the damage and that Sitka will make a speedy and full recovery.
I know exactly what you are going through right now, the waiting is just horrible.
I have recently been through a horrible experience with my beautiful boy Prince and we are fighting Fibrosarcoma (cancer) that isn't operable. The damage the tomor has done is too extensive and his spinal cord is compromised. Our only option was chemotherapy so we are doing that and hoping it will stop further growth of his tumor.
Please consider yourself lucky that Sitka has a good chance of a full recovery, I only wish my Prince could have this chance.
