That is awesome news Morgan and Josh. I know how difficult it has been the last few weeks. Glad to hear some positives!

Just got back from the vet with Duke. He is doing so well!!! His breathing sounded better, no fluid in his lungs, his heart beat was better, the doctor seemed very pleased. We go back in 4 months for another ultrasound, and in the meantime we just have to monitor him.
The big thing right now is getting him past the 6 month mark. I couldn't ask last time because I was too upset, but I asked the vet this time what his life expectancy was. He said it's hard to tell, but on average a dog with his condition is about 6 months to a year. HOWEVER, in his experience, if they make it past 6 months with no issues, then he has seen many dogs live out their natural life as long as the meds keep working and we take care of him properly, which we know we do.
So, we just need to get past that 6 month mark. Right now, he's right on track, I couldn't be happier.

That's great, Philly. I love that type of thing. Good for you (and Happy B-Day!).My son made me a birthday card and waited until he woke up this morning to give it to me. Such an awesome way to start the day. Can't wait to go home and have my birthday dinner with the fam
Congratulations!Found out recently that the wife and I are expecting a baby boy in September. New golf buddy!!!! So pumped!!! Had to share with the THP family
Thanks everyone! We are so happy right now, and we will be even happier once we get past that 6 month mark. For now, he is sitting to the right of me and Ellie to the left of me in my office, and life is good. :smile:
Is Ellie going to town on Buckeye..aka Ohio? Heh
