Surgery went well- really well....

Good evening.  I'm so tired, but in a nutshell surgery went well and Dr Myhre feels he got about a 50% improvement, removing bone fragments, opening up her sinus on the right side, ascertaining that there were no bone shards in the sinuses.  It went very well, I'll see Scribbles tomorrow and find out when we can bring her home-we'de like to  touch base a day after the surgery and find out the type of after care she'll need. 

The upside is all the love and support we've received.

You wont believe this, but the downside, is that someone took over our Craigslist ads, copied them and posted them about our tack sale.  But the responses will go to a total stranger aka donations.  Please be careful.    Please do not send donations anywhere else but to Myhre.  Just when I was beginning to think we lived in a perfect world- people take advantage of our situation.  And if you donate tack, I will indentify myself with a drivers license if I dont know you.  Unbelieveable, that someone would take advantage of others who are helping a horse and family in a tough bind- ugh.  But I believe all the good outweighs the not so good. 

Goodnight and pleasant dreams~

Surgery for Scribbles today

On Wednesday the opthamologist looked at Scribbles eyes and confirmed that they were in good shape, all things considered.  She'll continue to need antibiotics put into her eyes as they heal from the trauma of a massive amount of sand in them, but her vision is good.  She has an ulcer in her left eye from being scraped by dirt and sand for so long, and we think it'll resolve over time.

Dr Myhre can do her surgery today.  With the okay on her eyes, it's a relief.  He's hopeful that pulling up the bone will resolve breathing issues on her right side.  He's pretty amazing, I cant imagine performing a surgery like that.  Of course there are no guarantees, but fingers crossed he'll be able to make a little difference through pulling the bone up a bit.  We have faith that she is in the best place she can be for now, and that they're doing all they can.  She has come so far in their care.

We'll talk this afternoon, following her surgery to discuss when we can bring her home- yay!!
