I got a phone call from the surgeon at about 12:40pm telling me that Chili was waking up. She said the surgery went very well and his post-operative radiographs looked great. I'll be able to talk to her more tomorrow when I pick him up. We'll be given all his therapy exercises and medication when he's discharged (oh yeah, and I think they'll want our money, too!) I'm very relieved everything went well.
I called back the clinic and spoke to a vet tech- she said Chili was still groggy and had his IV in. He was propped up on some heated blankets for comfort. Once he's fully awake, the IV will come out and they'll try and get him to eat some solid food. She told me to call in the morning and check on him. It will be a very strange and quiet house tonight without the little guy. I think Bridgett will initially be happy to get some peace and quiet, but I know she misses him when he's not there.
I may post tomorrow morning once I talk to the staff at the clinic with an update on Chili (if there is anything worth reporting). Expect a detailed update tomorrow night, along with some pictures. Thanks again for all the positive thoughts!

I am glad to hear that Chile came through surgery without any problem. Sounds like he is being well taken care of at the clinic, but I know you are anxious to get him back home and begin his rehab program. He has a such a moxie personality!
