Pocahontas (we call her Poki) update❤️🩹
We made it through another day/night. She’s definitely brighter and attempting to move more in the front end but not yet in the hind end, but it’s still very early. Dr Longoria said if treatment works we will just see a slow progression of her moving more, attempting to sit up, so forth. She was so stiff at first it was hard to sit her up but we are able to do so now to an extent and she is drinking milk from a bowl now. She does have an IV and we are giving fluids throughout the day/night. She’s on an antinflammatory, and two antibiotics, as well as Vitamin E and C. I have been doing magnawave treatments and massages to help her muscles relax.
We got a her a twin size air mattress in an effort to reduce pressure and help move her and it’s really been a life saver. She has to be turned every 2 hours and repositioned often. She already had some pressure areas when she came to us from being down at her home so we really want to stay ahead of those. This is around the clock care and I’m just hopeful she comes out in the other side of this 🥹.
