Last week was terrible. We were back and forth to so many vets, always on the phone, and emailing x-rays to anyone who would look at them trying to decide what would be best for Maddison.
After five grueling days, we decided that the external fixator would be the best bet for Maddie and would give her the fastest recovery and the best chance of saving her lovely gait so once this is all said and done, she can continue on to her championship.
We just got home from the six hour drive to take Maddie to see her surgeon. Dr. McDonald was always there to answer any questions we may have had during the last week and he has gone above and beyond to help us do what is right by Maddie.
Maddison's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon (Monday pm), but Maddie will stay at the hospital until the evening of the 26th. Thank you all who have sent thoughts and prayers our way or to those who have voiced concern over our little girl. Please continue to keep her in your prayers this week as we pray for the steady and capable hands of the Dr. and for her safe and speedy recovery afterwards!
We will post news of the surgery after we receive it tomorrow, and will keep you updated throughout the process. Blessings!
