“It wasn’t me! I’d never think about getting into the breakfast meals!” so said Betsy Rose Sunday morning while I was loading up the golf cart with many tubs of feed, flymasks, etc. for my morning chores. I could never get upset with anything she does. Ever. She just makes you smile no matter what she is doing! There’s just a beautiful aura about her – always!

Garan – he is a beautiful horse! He is a 15 year old Arabian gelding looking for a forever home!
Garan is so funny. He pins his ears at everything. But he’s a real sweetheart that also loves attention!
They are just all starving for attention. LOL!
I had to share this – this doggie is so much like my Popper dog!

Brief Monday AM Update for Sweet Baby Ray
Baby Ray continues to improve! Dr. Stephens said they are "mystified" by his recovery. They will do another ultrasound tomorrow but if all goes well he should be released on Wednesday. Please keep the prayers coming – they work!
Sincerely,
Theresa
Baby Ray Update 11/09/13
Baby Ray was a bit better today but he is far from out of the woods. They still don’t know what caused his illness. They discontinued IV fluids and he is drinking on his own – he also passed poop! His condition is still guarded. Please continue to pray for him.

Baby Ray Update Fri pm
I’m going to call it a day soon, at least for a little while. I’m not feeling very good – just plain exhausted I think. Light headed and nauseous. I expect to hear from the hospital tonight after 10 pm. They are going to ultrasound Baby Ray again tomorrow to try to determine what the two lumps are on either side of his abdomen.
We still don’t know the cause of his illness. But the blood work done late this evening was even better than this morning. I really can’t thank all of you enough for your help and for caring. I do believe in the power of prayer – and in miracles. Baby Ray learned when he was just a baby to never give up and we’re very proud of him!
Night everyone. I thought I’d share a photo Ray getting acupuncture today (he’ll get another treatment in the am – it really helped)!

Baby Ray Update Friday 4:45 pm
See the mess on Baby Ray’s face? He ate a mash! His values are better. I hope and pray we are over the hump and he is on the mend! He’s getting ready to go for a walk outside. I can’t tell you how happy I am that the Well-Gel is there!! I don’t know who to thank yet but prayers were answered! They have cut back on his IV fluids. I’ll have another update later! Please continue to pray!

Baby Ray Update Friday afternoon
Baby Ray took a turn for the worse last night around 10 pm. The Dr. opted to go ahead and run plasma. This am found Baby Ray better. His PCV number was down as well as his temp and his HR. His adoptive mom was back at the hospital this am and will be there all day. When I talked to him this am his ears went forward and he lifted his head higher. He had acupuncture and, for the first time in days, he is nibbling on a mash! He received more plasma today.
He is still in critical condition but I think our prayers and good thoughts are helping! Baby Ray is young and I am confident he is giving this his best. We still don’t know what is wrong with him. But for now, he is slowly improving. Please keep praying.
Oh, I did ask if donations could be called into the vet’s office and they said no – they prefer they come through us. If anyone would like to help (the bill is $3000+ so far) we would greatly appreciate it. Donations can be made via PayPal at theresa@beautysequinerescue.org or through the donate page on our website at www.bhfer.org. And if anyone would like to email the equine hospital (through their website) with a kind word of thanks for taking such good care of Baby Ray that would be great – Baby Ray is at Blue Ridge Equine http://www.blueridgeequine.com/. His Dr’s. name is Dr. Stephens.

Baby Ray Update
Hi Everyone,
I just spoke with Theresa. Baby Ray is still at the Equine Hospital where his condition is critical but stable. He has had test after test and some retests, an abdominal tap, ultrasound, etc. Theresa is in close contact with a team of doctors who are working diligently to determine the cause of Baby Ray’s illness but thus far, it remains a mystery. He is producing too many red blood cells which can lead to blood clots and dehydration. And his IV fluids are passing through him as fast as they run them. Toxicology tests reveal no toxins but Baby Ray is demonstrating signs of being toxic. It’s possible he has cancer. They are providing supportive care – we are praying Baby Ray holds on until his system goes back to normal. If it’s cancer, well, we are not thinking that way. The Dr. assures us Baby Ray is not in pain. However, his heart rate has increased this evening. The doctors are also considering running plasma.
The vet bill has already weighed in heavily on Theresa’s mind so if anyone would like to contribute, it would be greatly appreciated. Baby Ray didn’t survive his terrible start in life only to fall victim to something now. I will ask Theresa tomorrow if donations can be called directly into the hospital. But there are many ways to donate via our website at www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.cfm.
Please continue to pray for our sweet boy’s recovery.
Thank you all for your Prayers & Support..

Baby Ray Needs Prayers NOW
I didn’t post last night because I was praying for good news this morning. But the news isn’t good.
Baby Ray was admitted to the hospital yesterday. They are doing everything possible for him but it isn’t looking good.
It may be a bone marrow/ blood disorder.
I will share more after a conference call with the onsite vet and Dr. Porter this afternoon.
Please – please pray for Baby Ray.
Sincerely,
Theresa

BH October 28th & 29th Update
Letting go is never easy. Penelope and Penny have gone to their forever home.
Penny and Penelope with their new family – it was hard to leave them today but it’s what we want for all of them. They deserve their own family. And they are home before the holidays.
They have lots of shade trees. And grass!
I miss them already. They are only about 15 miles from the rescue and right around the corner from one of our volunteers.
Eagle has settled right in. He’s a really sweet horse. He’s doing very well.
Eagle had his teeth done by Dr. Bess yesterday! He was a very good boy.
Meet Brandi! She is an incoming 2 year old mini that needs a good home and will soon be available for adoption. Dr. Bess checked her out yesterday as well. Fabio will also be giving her a much needed hooficure. This is Brandi with Laura Williams.
Thank you, everyone for your continued love and support.

Theresa
