I agree with you about checking for paralysis. Myself whenever I check Babybear I just pinch between his pads on his feet to tell how he is doing. I was never told of the paper clip. I will have to keep that in mind. It sure to me sounds like she might have what Babybear had. It can happen quickly. And sometimes if they do not do digital xrays you can not find the problems in the neck. I pmed you on this subject. I hope you can get to it if not let us know and we can help you get to your pm's.
I am sending extra prayers for Emma and your family.

I am sorry to hear that she is not better. My prayers go out for both of you.
