Lil D's progress...

Working off and on on Seth's head (that name may change). Kinda helps me get my mind off of my baby. Lil D's progress...or lack of. Well it's been a week. She's gotten a little of her sweet personality back but she's not showing any improvement as far as her knee is concerned. Seems like she's a candidate for a very expensive knee surgery. They don't want to wait more than a month and I don't see what good waiting will do. I can't stand watching her hopping around, although she's handling it better than I am. Just means a much longer convalescence for her to still end up needing the surgery. I'm just not feeling that. So I stay still so that she stays still, her appetite is all that great, but has a positive note. She's a little overweight so short of not making herself sick, would take some of the pressure off of her other knee, by the way can be affected due to her over compensating. So, back to relieving my stress and watching Seth's hair really starting to take shape beautifully.

Seth (aka Lex)

Well little Seth is getting cuter by the day taking my dear sweet time on rooting his head. He is just adorable...oh sorry I've said that before.  Jai Li still needs her nails and touch up done. Basically been lap sitting Little D! Just a mama's baby!! :o) She is still limping, no better but no worse. I started her on Omega3 to help heal her joint injury, also helps with her coat / shedding. Still don't know if it will heal on it's own but it's worth a try. I will be calling her vet tomorrow.

Progress..

Well I've kept her quiet as possible. Still not weight bearing after 24 hours but I hope that is a plus, I wish for her to heal slowly and completely. The less she trys to use her little leg the better, I'll have to report to her vet next Monday either way! Just hope surgery is not required!! Did I say that already? Poor baby she is getting a little more back to herself, probably the drugs! Anti-inflamatory and pain medication, lets say she's doing a lot more sleeping. I also think that she is eating up the fact that she's getting carried around a lot! LOL

Now I can get started back on rooting my Lex. I just can't wait to see how his hair is going to turn out too! Still have to do nails on both babies and make Jai Li's special little outfit. I was looking at the material last night! I think she's going to be sooooo what shall we say? Oriental! LOLROTF

My Lil D had a mishap...

A couple of hours now back from the emergency vet with lil D. I let her out for her last potty run and her usual "chase the rabbit" game. However, this time it wasn't a rabbit it was a young possum. When we both realized it, is when it didn't run away like they usually do. It didn't get her, I think it was more afraid of me when I took off after her. When she turned to come back to me she yelped I thought it just scared her, but I checked her over anyway and no scratches or bites. I put her down and she wouldn't bare any weight on her left back leg. Now I'm scared. I feel up her leg, foot to her hip didn't seem broke but I thought fracture? Knee? when I heard a popping sound. Not good. I took her to emergency and she was xrayed. $299.00 later, they think that she tore her ACL and that seems to require surgical repair. Expensive surgical repair. We have never been apart since my hubby died. She has to be very contained for at least 8 weeks with or without surgery, so now it's a waiting game. They are going to call in the morning with the radiologist report to confirm. I am just praying that she's not in severe pain, she's so sweet about it, it's hard to tell. I did give her meds that work for pain and another anti-inflamatory. So I am asking you to pray for us! I know that I am over reacting but she's my baby girl and helped me through so much, now I gotta help her! We've been through so much together. I could just cry, like anything else it just happened so fast it's like a bad dream.

Jai Li's progress...

Progress!!!!

Well, well, well she's got her eyelashes after all! Yeahhhh and they were just the right size! I didn't want to overwhelm her eyes with ones that would be too big. I think these are just perfect! Then I took her a step further, I micro-rooted her eyebrows with Suri alpaca. I like the texture because this alpaca is truly baby fine and I think they worked out perfectly, they look so delicate, much better than mohair or human which is much too coarse for infant brows. Just the same I think that it builds even more character when you can carry realism one step further.

Seth is coming along nicely, he'll have updates soon!
