Thank you all so much for the support. I know that I have to just believe that God is working on her, and spinal injuries take time and she won't be better in just a few days, she may not show any improvement for weeks. Believe it's happening, and it will happen.

So they gave her a 50% chance... that 50% has to depend on whatever study was done. Were any of those dogs older than Layla? It's pretty rare for it to happen to a dog so young, in a breed where it's not a big concern! Maybe the 50% who couldn't end up walking were larger dogs with more weight to support, or long dogs like dachsunds with more stress on their backs. Layla is so young and so healthy and active, and I just need to believe that all of that is going to get her in the 50% that will regain use of her legs!

The vet said there are miracle stories out there, but they are rare. Layla walking doesn't have to be a miracle, she could still be in the statistic! She could still be in the good 50%!

We have been so lucky lately and I just know that God is looking out for us a little bit. We had to do this surgery, and it's pretty apparent that we were meant to have this surgery done because it happened on the one day we had the money to do it. Is that just a coincidence? Is it coincidence that we just found our DREAM HOUSE when we weren't even looking, when nobody had put an offer on it and it was for sale for 7 months, and they took our offer? And then our condo sold for asking price the DAY it was listed? We had a couple of weeks to settle in to our new house when Layla went down on the DAY I got the condo profit? If we still lived in the condo I could not afford it. Everything happens for a reason. If all of this had to happen, Layla had to have the surgery to get better. So she WILL get better. It wouldn't be for nothing. It just makes sense in my head.
