Alita's Story

Week Five

June 30th-July 6th

Still Going Strong

    Alita is still doing well all this week. She is bearing weight on her leg well enough that if you didn’t see the bandage you wouldn’t know she was lame. This is GREAT news! I am so excited. I asked Diana to come back out to the house and do a follow-up session with Alita. She agreed and said she would stop by after work.

  I made a pitcher of tea as there were several people coming over to watch this session up close. We set out chairs near the horses yet in the yard so they could sit and watch. Once Diana arrived the session began after she spoke with our baby first.

  I brought out Alita and those who saw her at the vets at Diana’s last session were amazed by her progress. She was pretty comfortable with her leg. Diana again concentrated on the areas that Alita said were giving her problems. Alita again responded to Diana’s touch and seemed relaxed and at ease. She rubbed down her legs and repeated a affirmation to Alita; "I am strong. I am whole. I am perfect in body, mind and spirit. Everything I need comes to me in divine time."

  Once the session was over we all wished Alita a good night, I thanked our guests put Alita in her stall and were off to dinner in our separate ways. It was a good night and hopefully the rest of the week will be as good.

  Alita truly seems to be getting better. Everyday she seems to be more and more comfortable with her leg. She is beginning to look like her old self when she walks. I am so pleased. She is staying in her area and not trying to escape with the others and she seems to honestly be trying to get better. She is doing so well that we have her down to ½ Bute am and ½ Bute PM.

  We are changing her bandages still every two days and Alita stands like a champ. She actually is starting to look at her knee as we clean and change it. The discharge has cut to about ½ as much and the bandages aren’t quite as wet when we remove them. It is going well at this time.
