UPDATE: We visited with Cali this morning (sorry, no pictures this time). And she is completely frustrated by her situation. She is starting to whimper a bit. I think she is just tired of lying around and wants to be a normal little Yorkie like before. I took her around during our visit to sniff things and make her feel more normal & look out the window...she liked it. However, I do have great news: She PEED!!! On her own!!! I'm so happy she pottied on her own! I take this as a very good sign because she' been getting expressed 3 times a day but she just did it on her own (albeit all over herself but I don't care since she's immobile). Another good thing...she's getting such good, personal attention here. For example, someone on the night shift took the time to hold her and french braid her topknot. I've done this numerous times myself so I'm sure it made her feel right at home. There might be another good tidbit, during our visit my husband claims to have seen her legs move independent of one another. I personally didn't notice a change but he says he saw it. And her student said she's been moving around in her cage much more.
To ALL of you: thank you-thank you-thank you sooooo much for the support and prayers. Please keep them coming. I am still praying for all of you to be blessed beyond measure.
On another note, Cali's student has 1 more night with her and she will get assigned a new student on Monday. My husband and I would like to get something for Allison (her current student) since she's been so wonderful to us and Cali. Does anyone have a suggestion of what we could get a 4th year Vet student?
More updates to come...
