Ambrosia update

Ambrosia is out of surgery. The doctors say it was quite extensive. They ended up taking most of her rib – there was a huge amount of fibren and pus. There was a scare where there was some air leaking but they managed to seal it off. Ambrosia just lost about 10 lbs but we won’t hold that against her progress of weight gain. J

They may not do the other side this week – they had planned on likely doing it on Friday but they want to wait and see how she does for a few days and they may hold off until next week. We won’t take any chances – if she needs time to recover from today and grow stronger before the next surgery then so be it.

So, she is stable and munching on her hay. They say she is quite the mare! She’s amazing. Just amazing.

Thank God. Thank all of the wonderful people at UF. And thank all of you!

Sincerely,

    There is no way that she has come this far not to make it. She is a TB mare and I know how stoic they are. Ambrosia will get better each day and we will see just what kind of mare she is. She is a fighter and she hasn’t given up and I don’t think she will.
