Life is About Determination
“Life is about determination! Don’t give up just because of the obstacles. Regardless of what obstacles face you, just keep going! Go through, go around, go over or under – but never give up!”
Aaleyah Belle, thankfully, continues to improve daily. On Tuesday, Dr. Hughes reported that Aaleyah’s heart rate was still elevated, albeit it had come down a bit. She is eating hay and passing poop. She was so happy to see Jenny and Jen walk through the door when they visited with her on Tuesday!
On Wednesday, Aaleyah was beyond thrilled to no longer be muzzled and she happily, munched on her hay. She is still not out of the woods as yet, but we are cautiously optimistic. This mare never gives up!
And, poor Gabe! He is just so anxious for his corneal ulcer and abscess to heal. We are administering quite a bit of eye medications and thankfully, the lavage has truly made a world of difference.
Please continue to keep both Aaleyah and Gabe in your prayers and if anyone wishes to contribute to their medical fees, it would be so greatly appreciated. Once again, donations for Aaleyah may be called in directly to PetersonSmith Equine Hospital at 352-861-1251 or 352-237-6151 (account #95501). Our website also offers a variety of options in which to contribute. Just click on the ‘DONATE’ button below.
Thank you, all, for your continued generosity, love and support.
Sincerely,
Theresa
