Checking in for an update... praying everything went well.... |
I, too, am anxious to hear how your baby is. I hope she is getting much better with the medical care that you are giving her. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hate to hear about our babies in pain and also not knowing what to do to help them. Kathy, I knew you'd be here checking back because you always care so much and have such a loving heart. I learned a lot from what you wrote earlier in this thread. |
Thank you so much for the continued thoughts and prayers. Good news! She has been moved out of ICU and the oxygen chamber. We were able to hold her and hand feed her a bit of kibble. She is still on the Lasix drip but if all is well with her X-ray in the morning then she will be weaned off and monitored for 24 hours before being released. Doctor said he may release her Monday afternoon. Please continue to pray for her. |
*Edited to include more info* So sorry to take so long to update. We have had a hard 24 hours and found out this morning, while on our way to the vet, that one of the horses at my daughter's riding club had to be put down today due to colic. He lived a long and healthy life and was well over 20 years old but it was still a shock to us all. I believe I am all cried out at this point but I have good news related to Abbie. She has been moved out of ICU and the oxygen chamber. We were able to hold her, love on her, and hand feed her a bit of kibble this evening. She is still on the Lasix drip but if all is well with her X-ray in the morning then she will be weaned off and monitored for 24 hours before being released. Doctor said he may release her Monday afternoon. We are going back at 10 AM tomorrow (Sunday in Japan) to get the results of her morning X-ray and to visit. Will update again around 8 PM EST Saturday. Please continue to pray for her. |
I'm so sorry that you had such a rough day. Please tell your daughter I said I'm sorry too. I am so happy that Abbie is responding to care, and I hope her little body heals very quickly. Your family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers. Even though it is so sad that she is in ICU, that must have felt like the best feeling in the world to be able to hold and cuddle with Abbie. |
So sorry about the loss of the horse. My sympathies to your family and friends. Very sad to lose an old friend... So glad Abbie is out of ICU, off the oxygen, and eating again. Very good news! Praying that she will be able to go home as expected. :D |
Thank you all. Headed to vet in about an hour. We were sitting in the parking lot yesterday morning waiting for them to open but our vet explained that it would be best if we gave them just a bit more time this morning so that they could repeat the Xray and be able to discuss her plan of care in detail. I'm holding myself back until 10:30 or so. I just miss her so much and even had dreams of her last night. Will update soon. |

Update Back from the vet and Abbie is doing well. She has not yet been weaned off the Lasix so they won't repeat X-ray until this evening. We were able to hold her and love on her for a few minutes. She is ready to get out of that cage and was so happy to see us. Her breathing was not labored so we are hoping for a discharge tomorrow. We are going back to vet at 8 PM to get updates. Will post again around 7 AM EST. Thank you all so much for praying for our family. :animal36 |
Great news! No sense in rushing this too much... it does take time. I'm so happy for you guys, and Abbie too!:D |
I'm so happy that you were able to cuddle with Abbie and that she is improving. I'm sure your love will help her body to heal. You remain in my thoughts and prayers. |
Update We are back from our evening visit. Abbie has continued to improve and is looking better each time we see her. Vet will do CBC and final X-ray in the morning. He will adjust meds as needed and hopefully discharge her after 4 PM. Thank you for the continued prayers as they are obviously working. I hope to update tomorrow evening (around 4 AM EST) with news that she is home. I know we are looking at a long road to full recovery and I don't want to rush it but our family misses her terribly. Hope our sweet girl is home soon. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. |
So happy to hear that she is doing so much better. I pray you are able to bring home real soon. Prayers still continue for her. |
I'm so happy, keep us posted, continued prayers...!!! |
