Awful night update

[Louby]

Sounds really corny I know but you are all so wonderful. Thank you so much for all the good vibes and well wishes, you have really cheered me up x x x x x x x
This morning was hell, they rang me at 10.40am and it was the longest 40 minutes ever as they said they'd ring at 10am but they said he was comfortable and that they were doing more xrays and a scan today. They rang again this afternoon and said his radius and knee are fractured and that he will be there for at least two weeks being cross tied (breaks my heart) but he can recover!!!!! As long as his recovery is uneventful and he remains calm it can mend only time will tell as the xrays will show the fracture more clearly in about 10 days time. They have removed the splint as it may be more of a hinderence and hes heavily bandaged. There is fluid in his carpal sheath but at the moment they dont think its infected as he is so comfortable and he isnt on any pain relief. Its so hard to believe as he was bunny hopping on 3 legs last night. I really think he knew he had to protect it and he definately knew he was going to get help as he hopped straight past his stable to the wagon on his own accord. There was no stopping him! Awww poor poor boy.
Im going to see him in the morning which I know will send me into a blubbering wreck but Ive lots of carrots and will be giving him loads of hugs.
Thanks agian

I am so pleased that it is positive news - i have been thinking of your poor boy.

 

[Weezy]

Well I will take that all as GOOD news and I wish him a speedy and uneventful recovery

 

[equibabe20]

thats good news, he sounds like a fighter. I'll keep my fingers crossed he makes a speedy recovery. x

 

[frannieuk]

As Weezy, I think that sounds like GOOD news and have my fingers crossed for a good recovery. Can only imagine how horrid last night was for you. x

Fabulous news Louby......give him a big hug from us all on HHO.

 

[Louby]

You know he is the biggest wimp ever, scared of a leaf and so dramatic. Maybe thats done him some good as he was really protecting his leg last night.
I can smile now as my normally ratbag baby boy who pulls evil faces at me and is a real spoilt brat was the lovliest boy ever last night. Head in my arms, ears forward, stood to have his leg clipped (I'll remember that!!!) was poked and prodded and didnt bat an eyelid.

Oh you and your poor poor boy. It does sound like good news though and I can only image the agony you were going through for 40 minutes this morning! I was biting my fingernails here for you!
*fingers crossed*

 

[Happy Horse]

That all sounds promising. My horse was cross tied for nearly three months in a Robert Jones bandage and he was fine. I felt guilty but he just seemed to deal with it.

 

[Jemayni]

Glad its good news, at least hes fixable! Good lk for the morning

 

[lisaward]

[Clodagh]

That sounds great, so pleased for you.

 

[brighteyes]

There you are, see! Powerful vibes from the forummers. They are used to blubbering wrecks at Leahurst so don't hold back! He will enjoy the carrots and it will take you ages to deliver all those hugs. Plus one from me. Keep us in the picture, thinking of you tomorrow.

 

[_daisy_]

Keep us updated wont you.

 

[KarenX]

Phew! I was opening this post praying for good news! Thank goodness.. sounds like he can make a full recovery then, but things will be tough for you both.

Sending best wishes for a fast and uneventful recovery.

I bet you will spoil him tomorrow when you see him.

Sounds like you have quite a long haul ahead, and he will need his Mummy; but the prognosis looks good. I am so glad.

 

[buffy2]

Only just read your posts,glad its good news,hugs to you and your boy.

 

[Thistle]

Great news

 

[SirenaXVI]

That's brilliant news - I am so pleased for you, all the good vibes everyone sent have obviously started working

I had a horse actually break her leg (split the long pastern almost in two), she was 10yo and broke it in the field hooling - she is still with me now - aged 27 so there is definately hope for your boy.

 

[loopeepee]

Great news, I hope him a thoroughly speedy recovery.

 

[harvgj19]

So glad this sounds like a positive update. Fingers crossed he heals quickly.

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Awww!!Glad that his prospects of recovery are good....almost been dreading seeing a update for fear of the prospects being poor

Very happy that your boy should be OK though
