Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. I went to see Melody today and just got back. Her temp had spiked back up to 104. something. They gave her a dose of banamine around noon and doused her with alcohol and water when I got there and at 2 when I left her temp was down to 102. something. She seemed really happy to see me and was perkier then yesterday. For the first 40 minutes of me being there she occupied her time trying to sit in my lap and trying to eat my earrings and hair. Then she got sleepy so she decided to take a nap. She layed down next to me like she used to do when I first got her. I stayed with her for almost an hour while she napped. She would have napped longer but the tech had to come in and take her temp. When I left she started screaming and you could tell she didn't want me to go. The vet came and talked with me. She said that they are probably gonna have to start doing more blood work and other testing if her temp doesn't level out. She is baffled by the whole situation. She says that they just can't believe that a horse who has 106 temp has such spunk and attitude when they come in the stall. She said people walk by and ask why she is hooked up to all the IVs since she is acting fine. I can tell she isn't fine but to people who don't know her she seems ok. Anyways, just wanted to give an update. Nothing new. Here are some pics I took of her taking a nap. She really does look horrible in them but it was a very sweet moment and that is why I am sharing them with you guys. She looks worse then she was acting. But I think she desperatly needed that nap while I was there.
