Warrior – last update of today…

Dr. Ryan’s words upon receipt of the below picture (with Warrior’s caption) from about an hour ago: “Unbelievable! Beauty’s Haven Equine Rescue – where miracles do happen! Awesome!”

“Look Doc – no sling!”

Warrior stayed up, unassisted, for almost 30 minutes and we thought that was enough – we didn’t want him to overdo it. We were there to catch him if he needed us but he didn’t. After a bit we did help him lay back down – doing too much too soon sometimes isn’t a good thing. With horses in a condition such as Warrior, most accomplishments need to be achieved with baby steps. You can better see in this picture just how thin and fragile he is.

Much needed smiles of accomplishment – we are so proud of him! We made him comfortable on a nice clean sheet (with his under pad) and socks on his little feet. The socks help him from damaging his legs when he tries to run in place which he does do throughout the day and night. He is taking a nice nap now.

While things are looking up, we know that Warrior could take a turn for the worse at any time. So while we are optimistic we must remain realistic.

And this beautiful artwork came at a very appropriate time from our dear friend Greg A. Thank you Greg!

And many thanks to all of you for caring and helping! The emails, posts, donations, and phone calls of support are so very much appreciated!

I doubt I’ll post again this evening – lots to do. Please continue to keep this little one in your prayers! God bless and we hope everyone has a wonderful night!
