Many prayers for you Laura and your sweet boy.
If there is a vet in the country that I have complete faith in , it is Dr Williams.
He is as good as they come.
God bless you and your family during this time, you are in my prayers

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them going....... they are working. Colonel and I stopped by to visit him again yesterday. He is doing better! He still has the head tilt and is still not real steady on his feet but he is alot better then he was a week ago. They blood work came back negative for WNV so they are checking for ENV and some others. There is also a new blood test for EPM that we should have the results back on that in a few days. We did test him for PSSM and that also came back negative. We are now leaning towards acute EPM.

He has lost alot of weight but he is getting around so much better and the look in his eyes is 10 times better. I am hoping to get to bring him home some time this week. I hated to leave him there yesterday. Colonel felt the same way..... He did not want to load, it took me 3 attempts to get him to get on the trailer. Colonel has never ever not loaded. He too really is ready for his buddy to come home.

Once again thanks so much for your prayers. There are no words to describe how much I value each and every one them.

Thanks dear..... I saw your rig several times last week but never ran into you and Nick. I don't know about you but I thought it was beautiful there and I hated to leave. Would be a great place for a summer home.

Many prayers for you and Grinder!!  Just a word of encouragement - my horse Jay Bird broke his hip in 2002, battled two serious cases of EPM in 2003 and 2004 and bounced back just fine. I mean it took time, but he came back...just keep praying and believing!!
If you think you can or think you can't...either way you're right.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

Glad Grinder gets to come home today....keep me posted!  Good to see you Saturday night....didn't catch you before you left.  When we got ready and went to the arena, you were in the shower.  We had a blast at dinner....Greg and I ate at Sharon Allen's on Sunday when we left the arena....it was incredible also! 

We didn't get anything done Sunday so it's a good thing we paid for our trip on Saturday!!!   :)/\\ :)/\\ :)/\\  He was tickled to death! 

Keep us informed on Grinder!!!  That's a real mystery on what it could be if they've ruled out EPM and WNV......keep the positive faith girl....he'll bounce back!!!!

Many hugs and prayers coming your way!!!

I'm sure you've checked, but did he get stung on his spine or something??  It came on so suddenly like a bite or a sting.......maybe he rolled and damaged his spine........just take a good look.

Still praying for your boy.  I guess you heard about Beau....that's why I haven't called.....been nursing him.

Love you, Dear!
