Help Came

Amy Koch sent a text last night that she would be willing to come help here but I was sound asleep and didn't get it until this morning. What a pleasant surprise to wake up to.
We had a good walk today even doing the second loop. Mom seems a little stronger. Pray that she will get her eyesight back in that left eye.
Amy arrived after the walk and of course the first thing we needed to do was to check Sangria's filly. As soon as we touched her we knew she was still sick. Amy held her while I gave her the shot of gentamician then Amy took her temperature. It was up to 104 degrees, Hoerr vet clinic was called and Dr. Hoerr recommended we give 3 ccs of banimine as a fever reducer and muscle relaxer. Sangria and Serenity were left in the stall and the monitor turned on.
Only then did Amy unload presents. She brought out a big tall pumpkin and a huge 3 color mum for our patio.

It was noon by the time she was ready to head to Bridlewood and I was more than ready to take a nap. After the nap and after school, Braelyn came over to play. She was pretty proud of her hair accessory. It matched and according to her, she didn't tell her mom, just put it in her pocket then put it on at school. She told me pretty proudly, "it's Kensley's bow!" Of course she had to climb on the rock for a picture.

 She sat very quietly for the close-up. 

She was pretty pleased with the pictures and wanted to show grandpa when he got home and her daddy when he picked her up but I told them they have to wait until tonight and for sure the pictures would be posted. We heated up some of Ruth's spaghetti for dinner tonight. After supper Mark walked up to the barn with me to check Serenity. She was much cooler this evening and feeling better. Hopefully she is really getting better and it's not just the banimine masking a bad infection. Rhoda and Karin are coming tomorrow. We have a full day planned but if necessary if the filly is still running a high fever we will haul her in to Hoerr Vet clinic for them to run blood work and also ultrasound her belly. We also need to haul Oksana and Titiana out to Middle Grove and bring back Ayanna and Rosalie for training.  That is a 50 mile round trip heading directly East to the vet clinic then a 50 mile round trip heading directly West to Middle Grove. Thankful for the old truck that just keeps truckin.
