A day late and a dollar short!! But you had lots of wonderful vibes, and certainly would have had a pile more if I'd seen this thread in time
Hope everything went well.
How's our little sweetheart feeling this evening?

Sierra's Check-Up

I'm so super proud of my sweet baby girl!
Sierra handled her appt beautifully!
Sierra's terrific Dr went very slowly, always speaking in a soft voice, and with a lot of patience, Sierra allowed us to draw her blood and check her blood pressure without having to be sedated! Hurray!
Really, this is a first ever! Mind you, she made sure with her sporadic growls that we knew she was not at all pleased with the procedure.
She must have just gone potty before we left, because she didn't have enough urine in her bladder to get a sample. This is ok for now, and we will go by today's labs to determine if a urinalysis may be necessary.
Her blood pressure stayed between 160-180. This is still high, but great because this is usually her reading when she's sedated! Her BP medication appears to be effective at its current dose, so will remain the same.
The only concern is that she has lost a little weight, about 3/4-1 lb. She is still at an ideal weight for her frame, the concern is that she lost it over a relatively short period of time. We must take into consideration, though, that her little sister has her a bit more active than she's been in years.
Since she's been taking her Pepcid twice a day, her tummy is feeling much better with her vomiting episodes quite decreased. Upon palpation, her thyroid felt normal, and we will know more when her test results come in. We'll be sitting by the phone all day waiting for the call! I'm expecting that all will be well.
This has been a surprisingly pleasant day. Upon returning home, Sierra was thoroughly sniffed over and enthusiastically welcomed home by Serenity, who was quite baffled by our sudden departure earlier. They both enjoyed their dinner and a treat, they were hungry little girls! Sierra is now napping by my arm as I type and Serenity at my leg, my sweet loves!
We're blessed to have found our wonderful Dr who sincerely cares about his patients and puts so much effort into keeping the atmosphere comfortable for Sierra. Whatever may be going on in the rest of the office, we feel like we're the only individuals who matter.
We really maintained a feeling of peace throughout the visit, and I attribute it to all of the prayers and positive energy we had coming to us from all over the world! Thank you guys so very much for all of your encouragement and support!
Hopefully our test results will be in on time tomorrow!

Stephanie - Sierra did so wonderfully. It's fantastic that she didn't have to be sedated. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her test results today; but it sounds like she's doing wonderfully at the moment. I'm sure you're right and her trim weight is due to the fact that she has her little sister keeping her on her toes.
I'm so glad everything went well
to you and scritches to both of your sweet girls.
Yay!!, it sounds like it went like a breeze
So pleased the ordeal is over for you all though
