Hi! Luna made it to anouther milestone. She is now standing up. When I posted the last progress report, Luna would stand but needed to have some help to position her feet for standing and just had to lean against my finger. But she was holding herself up.
I had to make sure there is anouther milestone before this report.
Lunas feet are getting stronger. Now she opens her toes for standing when she sees I am going to put her down. And she supports herself and I can take my hand away. Two weeks ago, I could count to 12 before she would sit down. Today I counted to 21, before she sat down on her little behind. I put her on a ladder and she grabbed on with her toes and beak and held herself there.
So nerve damage can and does heal. But it is slow and requires daily treatment and therapy. Luna is proof of that.
I have tried to post pics of Luna and have uploaded them to photobucket, but I am sure I am still doing something wrong. Will have to keep working on it. May have some stupid questions to ask, Is that OK??? HA

I am so happy to read of Luna's progress. I have been checking for updates every so often ever since her accident. when I saw how much care and effort you put into bringing her bck to health, it just warms my heart. '
You go Luna girl. What a brave and strong girl you are!

I am still trying to get Luna to stand long enough to take a good pic. As soon as I get the camara close to her, she sits down and wants down. She never did like to have the camara near her. She gives it the evil eye. LOL!
Now Luna has enough strength to hold onto a foot toy when she is upside down on her back, she has a strong enough grip so I can lift her up with her holding onto the foot toy. So these little games and excersises are helping her get some muscels developed again.
