Had the final meeting with the Drs. this am at UT Vet. Teaching Hospital and I quote:
DIAGNOSIS & PROGNOSIS: Triumph was here for a bone scan of her hind limbs as well as radiographs to assess bone structure around the implants.
The results of these two procedures was that no evidence of osteomyelitis was found. There is no evidence of a bacterial infection around the implants at this time."
She has to go for recheck radiographs in 6 months so that they can continue to monitor the bone-implant interface for early signs of aseptic loosening. If everything continues to look good at that time she will have yearly rechecks to assess implant stability.
Other than that I am to monitor the implants as I have been doing for the past 3 years......
Prayers have been answered! The last two months have surely been some of the longest days of my life....I couldn't even be with her yesterday because she was radioactive.....they would not allow anyone to touch her.......empty bed without my snuggle bunny.
We're both pretty tired but I surely will sleep better tonite. Thank you each and everyone for your support and prayers....It got us through a very tough time.
Hugs.......Moe

 All the boys think she's a spy... Triumph and her mom Moe ran into her friend Emilie yesterday at the Animal Care Center back home in Mt. Juliet, TN. Triumph and Moe were about to hit the road to University of Tennessee at Knoxville to meet with the vets there, and try to find a way to fix the awful time she's been having with her implants. But Triumph was gracious enough to pause for photos and smiles before setting out on her road trip. See her looking gorgeous, and very brave, at Emilie's photo album.
