HONEYBANDIT: update from human mom



Readers: A tiny foal lives through a helicopter stampede, but barely survives 2 weeks in BLM care. If you would like to help, you can click & donate as little as $5: CHILLY PEPPER,Miracle Mustang Rescue Palomino brought Chilly Pepper through to good health and she's working to do it again, for Honeybandit! Help her if you can -- financially and/or with prayers!

PALOMINO'S JOURNAL: The vet gives Honeybandit a 50/50 chance of survival
If he makes it to Monday, he needs to return to the horsey hospital for more blood work and meds. We're well over $800 in expenses.

Giving Honeybandit IV fluids and syringes of Foalac/goat's milk. Jennifer brought up more supplies, including pizza, bless her heart. Abby and her friend came to visit and hand fed him alfalfa, got him to drink water & stand for awhile.

Up all night. Despite blankets, dogs are sleeping close to Honeybandit to keep him warm and licking him, too. I'm in a hammock outside his pen. We're all close enough that Matt talk to us through the bedroom window.

About 10:15pm he wanted up and when we picked him up he was soaked with, you guessed it, urine. THAT IS A GOOD THING. He also walked a little.

He is buried in blankets to keep him warm.I need to try and find an electric blanket for tonight. He is such a sick little boy.


ANOTHER UPDATE COMING BEFORE DARK SUNDAY

  Everybody's pitching in. That's just music to my ears.
NOW I can breath.

I can see all of his ribs. He must be really sick.

But with all of them helping, I just know that within Monday he's going to be a lot better.

  This is why we need to stop BLM.

I made this amazing cartoon, like the one Terri posted a while ago but very different too.
I wish I could show it to you guys.
I'll send it to you, Mrs. Terri, and see what you think.

This needs to stop.
