Mollie Monday Morning Update

Good golly – look at Miss Mollie! Her little whinny is adorable – just like her! She is actually grazing a bit on grass this morning. Just a little. She didn’t have any grass at all where she came from. She’s carrying herself better in the sling. Her left eye is still a bit swollen, but its better. I’m so glad she hung on that night. It must have been scary for her.

Update! Good news and bad. We let Mollie out of her sling around noon – she was tired and I could tell she wanted to lay down. We had about 7 people here at the time so we could have gotten her back in the sling. She did go down and she took a nap. However, after her nap, SHE GOT UP ON HER OWN!!!!! The bad news – there appears to be an ulcer in her right eye. The vet is on the way out. Please keep the prayers coming for this sweet girl – she’s got a long road of recovery ahead of her. Not even 2 years old and look at that body – there isn’t much. Thank you all for caring!

An ASE certified diesel mechanic stopped by to check out the pickup truck. It isn’t good news – catastrophic engine failure due to a broken connecting rod. We need to replace the engine – it’s a PowerStroke 7.3 liter turbo-diesel F350. There is a large amount of internal foreign damage to the engine.

I’m heartsick. The truck is our lifeline to get hay, respond to calls like Mollie’s, to take a horse to the hospital, etc. We’re talking lots of money to fix it – I’m just in shock right now. In tears too. Why do things like this have to happen?

Sincerely,

Theresa
