Aeres Update

No news is good news on the Aeres front, but I figured you'd all want an update anyway.

Just...swoon. I miss riding this movement! PC: Lisa

She's doing absolutely amazing.

No filter. PC: Lisa

On my way to my parents' on Thursday, I stopped to see her for the first time since that early March night when we hustled her back onto the trailer four hours after she got home. 

I could just stand there and watch her eat and swallow grass for hours. Every swallow seems miraculous.

 

She spends her days with "Dr. Grass" as Lisa says, gaining weight by the day. Her wound, which I didn't get any pictures of, looks amazing and is almost completely healed except for a couple of spots. That last bit of healing will take the longest, of course, but it's made incredible progress in such a short amount of time.

I can't believe you're alive <3

Her wound has to be fully healed before we can put a bridle on her and see how her tongue amputation affects her, but I did get a chance to look at her tongue for the first time last weekend and it's WAY better than I thought it'd be. They really didn't take much off at all, and I don't think it'll affect her as a riding horse. Her prospective future owner agrees and still wants her, but as I've said before, it doesn't matter one way or another, she has a forever home regardless.

Keep eating and keep healing, little girl
