Wilmer

Some of you may have heard by other means, but Wilmer passed away on Jun 8th at 3:30am.
After his back surgery and making some good progress during the following weeks, his condition quickly deteriorated until the evening Jun 7th when we could see that he was in considerable pain. Many thanks to our good friends: Ann Sanders and Dr. Eric Jayne for your support and guidance.
We received confirmation today that Wilmer had a form of cancer called Hemangiosarcoma which effects dogs and sometimes cats. During his all too short a time with us, Wilmer made some great friends and leaves a lasting impression.
I miss him terribly.
Regards, Steven Fay

We went to the discharge appointmnt and learned that Wilmer is suffering seizures. The hope is that these are temporary as a reaction to the anesthesia. Discharge rescheduled for tomorrow - another night in Resplendent Russellville, AR.

CT Scan confirmed a ruptured disc in his lower spine. Subsequent surgery reported successful by Dr Dew, whom we've subsequently learned is renown statewide for these procedures. We will see Wilmer tomorrow & expect recovery to be slow.
