Thanks everyone for your encouragement and thoughts. We had the bandages off for a bit yesterday but didn't let her walk around. Some of the bone fragments have fallen off and that's a good thing, it means they won't have to be removed. Some healing has started as well so that's good too. Me and Lida need each other and I think that has a lot to do with it. She is one amazing little girl, so full of life - even now and so determined. She has the best vet, she's his little miracle and he's so proud of her. I'm the only one who can change her bandages without her making a fuss, so I've been doing that for her, guess she trusts me not to hurt her. I will keep everyone informed on her progress, Kelly is making me scads of padded booties in all kinds of colors using Preslee as her model because they are almost like twins.
