More news on Wink
Hi Everyone, Thank you all for your good thoughts and wishes and, Nina, thank you for that link; I'll surely investigate it. Wendy called a few minutes ago from the OR, she said she got two good pieces of the growth for biopsy and also found via (x-ray? ultrasound?) Wink has another small growth in the other ear; too deep to biopsy, but it makes me wonder (and she said, too) if these could be polyps or some other benign type of growth. The other interesting thing she said that might be playing a part in this is that she found one of Wink's rear teeth (she doesn't have many!) was broken at the gum line (just looked like one of many missing teeth from a quick exam)and the root was still there and terribly infected. She said she didn't think it accounted for everything that was going on, but said it was suspicious that it's on the side that won't heal. She thinks the root may have been a constant souce of wicking the bacteria far into the ear, head and cheek. It's very strange because in this very strange year of 2005 something very similar happened to a good friend's dad. He has a history of heart problems and began having chest, arm and back pain and was rushed to the ER. He was given the all clear from a cardiac standpoint, yet he continued to feel severe pain to the point that they had to treat him with morphine. After many, many days in the hospital, it was found that he had an infected root in a back molar (no, the TOOTH did not hurt at all) and it had spread a severe infection throughout his upper torso.It sounds like something similar could be going on with Wink! He had to be treated with IV antibiotics (I know there was a reason they said taking them by mouth wouldn't help, but I can't remember it!) and maybe that's why Wink has only had partial response all these weeks. I'll let you know when I know more. Love, Julie"I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.

Re: More news on Wink
Wow, Julie - even tho you don't have anything definite yet what has been found so far sounds like it is leading in a positive direction.
