Chica is all we can think about right now. She got stepped on really bad last night and we didn't think she would make it through the night. She slept in a jewery box drawer of the girls all snuggled up in babie blakets and a hankerchief. When Arden woke up this morning at 5:30am to check on her she was standing on the edge of the drawer.
Arden got some fluids down her and we took her to the vet. I thought she has a broken neck, because her neck was bent to the side and twitching. By the time we got to the vet her neck did look a lot better. The vet said her neck is not broken, and that she just looks a little out of her mind. Maybe a concusion? So the vet said he would keep her for a five hours, give her fluids and put her in an oxygen tank and see how she does.
We are going to get Alexis from school (Arden only made it at school till 10am) and go get Chica from the vet. The vet said she has a 50% chance to live. We are so hopeful. We will bring her home and nurse her and hope for the best. We have really loved having Chica as our family pet. She had dinner with us and was eating our peas and going from shoulder to shoulder. She was even giving Gavin kisses and on his shoulder.
Hoping for the best! We love you Chica.
