Troy has not peed yet... :(
Andrea is on her way back from OR, probably will get back to the clinic around 7pm tonight and she plans to put Troy under one more time. He currently has a short catheter inserted in his urinary canal, but no pee has emerged. Which means he is not peeing on his own and the bladder is not functioning properly.
She will go in tonight, put him under and insert a longer stiff catheter that will reach all the way to his bladder. This will allow for his pee to just drain freely on its own, which will hopefully give his bladder a day or two to build those muscles to start functioning. In a day or two the catheter will be pulled slightly out to a point where his bladder must function on its own and if there still emerges no pee, then that will be the final sign that his bladder is not going to recover.
We could go to extreme measures and have another surgery performed to reroute his urinary canal to come out his behind (like a girl goat), but that would be tough on him and we have decided we will not pursue that option. Right now, he is not suffering, he is maybe uncomfortable, but he is doing okay.
So we are still waitin on pee and he's got 1-2 days left to make it happen.... :(
