Dixie will have Enucleation of her left eye tomorrow morning at Veterinary Vision in Glendale Heights. The pressure in the eye keeps increasing and the pain is increasing. Removing the eye will instantly ease her pain.

Dr. Vernot believes when the University of Wisconsin biopsies Dixie's left eye they will probably find cancer, specifically cells from some sort of blood cancer. We will have a path to follow for treatment going forward.

Dixie has something starting in her right eye. Dr. Jacqueline Vernot started to treat that eye today. I said "to save her sight" and Dr. Vernot corrected me: "No, to save her life". Truth.

We will be praying. My angel sister, Maggie was blind in one for years and she was blind when she died. She did great. Mommy just could not rearrange the furniture or put anything out of place so she could walk around without running into anything.

Sending lots of love and praying so hard that Dixie's surgery will relieve her pain and stop any possibility of "c" spreading.

Our love to all~
