Updates

The vet in charge of Lily's care called yesterday to tell me that Lily is doing ok but they are still looking for answers. She had blood in her belly tap along with infection. She had a low red blood cell count. They need to do a coagulation test to find out why she is leaking blood. They also are waiting on the culture to find out how to treat the infection. Her heart rate spiked once probably pain when Ciera was nursing but then dropped to acceptable levels. They were going to hopefully take her off the massive IVs she is now hooked up to. I asked why she needed to be on IVs when I felt she was drinking well and the answer they gave me was there was necrosis somewhere in her body they were trying to flush out. Please pray that the doctors could have wisdom when treating her along with trying to be conservative in their spending.
Yesterday Anna's parents and brothers all came to see her new house. We went out to eat at the Flat Top in the new mall, then everyone came over here for ice cream, newly baked warm chocolate chip cookies and fresh cold milk. The kids (all in their 20s) played rock band while the parents visited. They are all spending the night at Phil and Anna's new house and we will see them in church today.
Steven has offered to drive out to the farm to check who needs to be covered today. Probably if Ylse is still in she will be done. Raven is sure getting lots of work.
Rhoda and Monica drove out to the lake yesterday and rode Jenis and Ylse. They rode them into the lake, Jenis' colt LOVED playing in the water. Ylse's filly did not. I will have to ask Rhoda if they were able to get the filly into the lake. Yesterday was very hot and today will be no better as far as heat.
