This week

Every day she seems to be improving.  Her eye is still sewn shut  until she can blink and make tears again.  Her swelling has reduced and she has been able to keep her tongue in her mouth.  She hates the mushy stuff that they are giving her  and still has trouble with her lips being askew which makes it hard for her to pick up the food well.  I gave her a "cookie" and she was able to chew it up on the left side of her mouth.  I got permission to sprinkle so equine senior food on the mush and she was eating it.  (She is a princess, you know)  I caught this early, which is fortunate for me.  I didn't wait around to make a decision to have the surgery.

I can't speak for everyone and cannot even imagine all the situations that you may be going through. I am writing this because my precious princess is going through something terrible that I didn't even know existed; I can't even pronounce it; and I hope to tell you what I am going through day by day to help you.  that she will recover and I will keep you posted in case you have to deal with this terrible thing.
