My sweet little Willow had her leg surgery yesterday at the University of Minnesota and they put the plate and screws in to repair the two broken bones and she did great. Today the pain medication is making her sick to her stomach and she won't eat anything for them. They called me up to the hospital and I was able to hold her for about an hour and she licked chicken baby food off my fingers and then layed her little head down in my lap. That was at about 3:00 p.m. today. It is now dinner time and they just called and she still doesn't really want to eat anything. I want her to start eating because she is supposed to come home tomorrow and I can't have her getting sick on me because we have 8 weeks of major confinement and care for that little leg. She has a four inch incision on the entire inner side of her leg from her little toes all the way up to her tummy. It is being held by a lot of little staples. All you can see are these three beautiful little legs and one little stick. It was a very horrific site and I burst into tears when I saw her and just held her and comforted her and tried to get her to eat.
Can you please pray for my sweet Willow that she will start eating for them and how can we entice her to start eating so she can recover from her leg injury?
Thanks so much to all of you.
Love Pegi and Willow
P.S. My heart goes out to sweet baby Lacey and her family. I have to run an errand but will be back in two hours to send my condolances to Lacey's family and chat more.
