Abby,s Treatment week 5

At the  end of week five, Abby appears to be about the same. Johnny spent the weekend with her, enjoying  their favorite activities which include fetching a tennis balls, walking, and just catching up on time together that they have not been able to have for weeks at a time now. In some ways we have all adjusted to Abby's absence, as well as Abby having adjusted to her temporary home.  But at the same time  we eagerly look forward to bringing her back to her real home where we are hopeful that her recovery will continue to improve, and that returning to her family and familiar surroundings will give her new motivation .  So  it is Wednesday, April. 24th and Abby is finishing up what will be her sixth week and final days of therapy at the LSU vet hospital .  Alex, her current vet resident, has been in close contact with Johnny and has been working  diligently with Abby. And let me say again how impressed we have been with the comprehensive , personal,  and professional  care delivered by the LSU vet hospital personnel  and what a blessing for us that we have been able to get such good care for Abby.  We have begun to think about where we will keep Abby and how we will manage her care from home. We all recognize we have a great challenge ahead. She remains incontinent and unable to walk on her own at this point.  We will be getting the necessary equipment to help ease the transition to living at home, but it's  going to be out with the old ways and in with the new, and these challenges will involve a great deal of compromise  and patience  for Abby and for us. But we are determined to do all that we can to get Abby walking again  and enjoying the activities that she must miss so much.
