Default Fractured spine

My poor Daisy is 3 months old and she has a fractured spine. She was attacked by a German Shepard. She is paralyzed from the lower waist down. She is also incontinent of bowel and bladder. We have taken her to a specialist and he only gave her a 1% chance to ever walk again. Both vets we talked to suggested putting her to sleep, but that's not an option for us. She is our baby. Looks like we will be ordering a wheelchair for her when the fracture heals. She originally had no feeling at all in her left back paw and deep pain in her right back paw. The vet called with an update that she now has some feeling in two toes on her left back paw. He was happy that she has made some progress, but still not hopeful about her walking. He made her a splint and she will come home in the splint and be crate confined for 2-3 months while the fracture heals. The vet also said her bladder incontinence may be a little better. My husband and I are praying for a miracle, but either way are just ready to get our sweet girl home.
