Olivia Update

Well, half the day is gone and Olivia is still on the up side of everything. My oldest son surprised me by using his day off after being on the road for a week to go and pick up some people food for me and come out to the farm. We had a nice lunch, caught up on his work adventures and then he held Olivia while I placed on a new splint and checked the leg... Boy it was a lot easier with another set of hands. She still is having good circulation in the leg, she is able to get around with it and has a great desire to eat, drink and allow Opal to nurse. So, we are still watching every two hours or so and checking to make sure there is no new problems arising. Opal was very protective of her mother but understood that while I worked on her it was a great time to get a bite of lunch in. She nursed fast and long but that is exactly what I wanted her to do just in case....

The day has not been as productive as I had hoped but it was wonderful to see my son and spend some time with him. It is also great to have another set of hands to help with the first aid and to have his experience with the Vet side of the farm work to confirm that I had done everything right.. He agreed that I had done things right and that my logic was sound. Sometimes even I question myself or my abilities...

So we will keep a very close eye on Olivia and if you would still keep those prayers coming because we are by no means out of the woods here... Much love and light to you all.
