Solace visiting with Jessie today.  Jessie and her husband, Ron, are visiting from NJ.  Solace is now munching on hay in his stall with his blanket on.  It’s going to get cold tonight.  We continue to pray that he continues to improve.  Sometimes the effects of starvation and neglect are not known until long after recovery has begun.

Solace Update

January 22nd, 2013

This was taken of Solace today.  He is doing well which makes us humans feel better.

I am a little better.  I tire very easily.  I did manage to eat some mashed potatoes and drink some weak tea today.  My doctor (family Dr. not the one at the hospital) called to check on me and said I need to go in for another chest X-ray. Hopefully I’ll continue to improve.  I really appreciate everyone’s kind words and prayers.  I hope to get out an update out on of some horses tomorrow.

Blackie, Lace, and Solace Update

January 18th, 2013

Blackie and Lace had hooficures this morning and went home with Pam for the night. They are going to their new home in the morning which is only about an hour away.  I’m so very happy that they were adopted together – they had been BFF for 15+ years.

Solace is doing ok – maybe too ok.  He took off this evening at the barn – running and we’re not sure why.  He slipped and fell but got back up and kept going.  I hope he’s not sore tomorrow.  I would be.  He’s tucked into his stall for the night.  

I ate a donut hole this morning with some milk and seemed to feel a bit better after.  But as I got to moving around the nausea started all over again.  I know I need to drink more but I have no desire to – no desire to eat either.  But I did try having a little soup with crackers tonight but it didn’t go very well.

Tomorrow is a new day and it will be busy – some are getting hooficures and visitors are coming.  I don’t want to give what I have to anyone!  Back to bed now.  Would anyone like to sponsor a hooficure?  If so, please LMK.  Thanks everyone – have a good night.

Solace Update

January 17th, 2013

I apologize I haven’t gotten any updates out this week – I’ve been sick since Monday with the stomach flu.  Just when I try to get going again I find out my body isn’t ready and it’s been very frustrating.  But I want to give a quick update on Solace while I can.  We’ve had beautiful weather this week, until today, when it took a drastic turn.

In the early afternoon I ventured down to the barn for the first time and peeked in on Solace – he was down in his stall.  He’d been doing so well – the good weather has been helping him, I’m sure.  I wished all week that I could have spent some time outside with him. When I went down this afternoon I noticed something wasn’t right.  I sat and watched him for a few minutes and it was obvious his tummy was bothering him and heart rate respiration were up.  He had been passing poop but he was gassy.  I called Dr. Ryan and gave Solace medications as instructed.

This evening Solace is tucked in his stall and looking better.  The determined look in his eyes always amazes me.  Bob went to the store this afternoon and for the first time in awhile so the humans cupboard isn’t bare.  I can’t eat – just the thought of it is nauseating and the headache won’t go away.  But the chills have stopped, I think.  I wanted to lose weight but maybe this isn’t the right way to do it!  

Hopefully Solace’s blood test results will continue to show improvement. I’ll post when I know more. Have a good night everyone.

Solace Test Results

January 14th, 2013

Test results came back – values are slightly better!  I’ll take “slightly better” over “worse” anytime!  Solace so very much enjoyed the bath our volunteers, Marie and Bob, gave him today.  Please continue to keep Solace in your prayers!
