update 3/31/08:
Lucy is UP walking around and nursing. Vets are starting to wean her IV!! YEAH New Bolton!!!
Firestar is still at home but is NOT nursing, getting IVs 4 X a day, and MULTIPLE medications. I am with him almost every hour for a half an hour at a time, or more. He isn't accepting the syringe well and is spitting out 50% of the mares milk fed to him. I am giving vanilla yogurt also, which he doesn't spit out at me, he seems to like it. His diarrhea which had improved a bit is worse today, so I upped his pepto( we were decreasing it a bit)
If not nursing by 2pm tomorrow(tuesday) he is going to New Bolton. I MUST return to work, I am out of vacation time and being a nurse, we are short in work anyway.
Thanks all for your prayers and support.
Love,
Robin
ps.. edited to add: phone call tonight, Lucy has become a fainting foal. Her blood sugars are fine. They were all worried, I told them it will go away.Out of all the problems, that is one I am not going to worry about.
