So far So good

Well, it has been 9 days and so far Peanut is holding her own.  It is amazing to me how she can remain calm, sweet and upbeat with such an extensive injury.  She is even using the leg and walking out to the treatment area.  My biggest worry is keeping the bone alive with it so exposed as the tissue begins to regrow. 

It is exciting that we have no smell when changing the bandages and that the damaged tissue remains pink and has good blood supply.  We have been making disposable oxygen tents and suffusing the leg with ozone every other day. 

We are treating the wound with an ozonated olive oil mix that contains Recovazon, Sange de Drago, Tea Tree Oil and rubarb root.  Sort of feels like covering here with salad dressing or marinating.  But it is doing an amazing job. 

A Heartfelt Thanks

A Heartfelt Thank You for the blessings of great neighbors.

Nothing displays the true character of your friends and neighbors as well as a crisis.  Last Friday, I was blessed with the opportunity to learn just how incredible is this community of Sonoita.  Just about six I was showing off our property to new students that had arrived for weekend classes.  As we were passing the pastures I realized that a horse was missing.  Now “Peanut” is short and the weeds are high, but she should have been visible.  After hunting for too long a time, I found her.  Brave girl was laying in the weeds with a hole in her left rear leg larger than my hand.
