UPDATE 8:13pm PST, Just off phone w/ Dr. Shur
Nellie and her foal made it through the surgery. She is in critical condition. She has been in recovery for 1 hour, and has not stood up yet. She needs to get up. She is wide awake.
The amount of sand that they removed from her in unbelievable, Dr. Shur states this has been years of accumulation. She is not out of the woods by a long shot, she has to stand, respond to antibiotics etc. We must continue our prayers, the cards are still stacked against her. She has long post surgery recovery ahead of her.
If all goes well through the night I will be going to visit her tomorrow. Please pray!!!!
