Day 54

Jack is doing really well most of the part that was causing so much trouble came off on its own with just a small section left we are hoping will either come off or heal correctly from here.  I got a new picture it looks way better in person than it does in the picture not sure why that is.

Day 51

Jack had another major bleeding issue yesterday sorry I missed posting that day but I was under alot of stress.  We also got out first blizzard of 2011 what great fun :-)  Jacks doing well and the wound looks as good as it can considering part of it is coming off on its own.

Day 49

Jack is still doing well we are buckling down for the big "Northeaster" thats supposed to be coming.  You may notice a hint of sarcasim and youd be right cause so far this year every promised storm has missed us not that Im complaining but if its going to be cold it might as well snow.   I will try to get some pictures tonight when I go over to bring him in and move his paddock for the storm.  His leg is looking great the majority of it is healing nicely and get smaller still waiting on the perfect weather conditions so we can do the surgery and remove the peice that looks ugly.

Day 48

Oh my my my been a busy few days around here planning a quick baby shower and then the 3 other horses at the barn got loose and took off about 3-4 miles before being rounded up.  Jack bumped his leg on something probably himself hes not very graceful and severed a blood vessel so we has a large amount of bleeding before we could get that under control again.

But all in all its going well no pics today as Im in a hurry have to get over to the barn before the big storm and move Jacks outside stall to somewhere easier on the guy who plows the driveway.

Day 45

All is well at the barn :-) brrr its cold you there but Jacks nice and warm in his blanket so he doesnt mind as much as I do.   Jacks healing very well to my untrained eyes hes just about done with this fussy bandage change business I keep telling him hes gotta be patient and bare with me cause its going to be along time before its over.  But all in all hes good hes just the kind of horse who once hes feeling good doesnt want to be fussed over so he would love nothing more than me to just leave him alone and dispense the treats when Im told :-p

Day 43

Im an aunt again for the third time sorry for my lack of attention to the blog but its been busy around here.  Jack is doing great I didnt get any wound pics today cause he was not wanting to cooperate and stand still so they all came out blurry.  But I did get a couple head shots again most are blurry.

Give Us Treats!

Day 41

Jack is doing great hes put on all the weight he lost during his colic episodes and is really starting to enjoy day to day life now that hes not as painful anymore.  The wound is lookin good the one part is starting to die off so maybe hopefully we will be able to skip the surgery as blood loose was a worry.

We want treats!!!!!
