All of our prayers and well wishes for Teagan have paid off! He will be off and running I would love to see his wag his tail! Can you even imagine a little yorkie without a waggie tail???


Thank you to YTNR and his foster mom and all of you that have been following and riding the train with us for Teagan's recovery!



I have a feeling we will be getting a report before we know it that Teagan is standing!
Just spoke with Teagans foster Mom....
Update thus far is....
Now remember Teagan was not what we think of a fully paralized....he could lift his head and wiggle his legs.....what was wrong is the sending unit, (for lack of better description), it was damaged so when he wanted to stand that message never went from his brain to his legs.....thus he could not stand.....even though he could wiggle his legs and hold his head up......this is what they hope they fixed....
They will be keeping Teagan for another couple of days....He is in the best place he could be right now they can keep him calm and give the repair time to start the healing process.....any quick movements may undo what they have already done....and we all know what a happy little guy he is so it has been decided he will remain in the hospital to monitor all his movements....he is eating fine and is a happy little boy..he is on some pain meds so this will also keep him calm and this is what he needs right now....
so lets keep those prayers and good thoughts going....this will not be a quick fix...Teagan still has alot of PT ahead of him........
Thank you all so much for loving this little guy and helping him get the help he so deserves.....
