Comet’s condition. She and I went to K-State University Veterinary clinic on
this Tuesday the 12<sup>th</sup>. There Comet went through pre-surgery
examination. One point, I got a scare by being told that Comet might have
another tumor in her abdomen. The clinic did ultrasound and it turned out
that growing of a tumor in her abdomen was a false alarm.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Wednesday the 13<sup>th</sup>
from 8:00AM she had her full CAT scan and by 10:05AM she was on the surgical
table. The operation was done by 1:00PM that afternoon. It went well and a
team of veterinarians were able to take out the tumor completely. Although
she is still under critical condition and monitored by ICU staff, she is
certainly making good progress on her condition. She is breezing on her
own. Oxygen is still being supplied through her nose tube. She also has a
tube in her chest o pull out all the fluid in her chest due to the pressure
of the tumor. Her lung was pretty smashed because of the pressure, but now
tumor being out I am hoping it would expand back to normal.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
