| Ace Update - He has been in pretty good spirits all day! He has been eating hay off and on all day. He drank almost a whole bucket of water! He wouldn't stop nickering tonight while we were doing chores, so we opened up his door. He didn't want to come out but he really enjoyed being able to see around the barn! His symptoms still aren't going away and it could be awhile before they subside! Still not out of the woods but you can see in his face even when he gets discouraged he is fighting!!!! Keep on Praying Warriors, I can't thank you enough!!!! |

| Ace Update - He had a very good night and is following it up with a good morning! He was determined to eat his grain this morning! He ate about half of it and then started back on his hay bag! Drank about a half a bucket of water thru the night which is normal for him. He is eating almost a flake of hay during each feeding and drinking anywhere from a half to a whole bucket of water between each watering. He is still in good spirits and you can see the determination in his face! Keep the great prayers up! And I thank you sooo much!!!! |

| Ace Update - Well he kept in stride with his goodnight and morning and had a great day! He is moving his mouth more and his tail is getting looser! He ate all his grain from this morning and most of it from tonight! He ate his whole hay bag of hay and was eating the hay off the ground and was eating his hay bag when we came in from chores! He has drank at least a whole bucket of water today and had drank some from the fresh buckets at chores. He has a lot more attitude also! When I put his feed in he pinned his ears and pushed me to his feed bucket! When mom poked her head in to see if he was still eating his grain he pinned his ears and gave her the "Don't bother me, I'm eating look!" When I went to hang his hay bag he got all revved up and wanted it bad! As of right now, he is currently resting! He has had a big day today!!! I can't say THANK YOU enough to his Prayer Warriors and HUGE support system!!!! Keep up the great work my dear friends, our battle continues!!
ETA: He has not had any bute, belly medicine or electrolytes since yesterday morning!!!

| Sorry for no update this morning!! I had a dentist appointment to get a tooth pulled!!!!
Ace Update - We weren't sure just how much food he is actually eating or if he is just putting it in his mouth and losing it, so I made him some mash tonight and held the bucket for him, he gobbled it all up and never took his head out of the bucket except to try and crib on it!!! Today was the first day in a long time that he has came out of the stall! Got his leg thoroughly clean and medicated and his stall thoroughly clean and new bedding!! He is trying to eat his hay but not sure how much he is getting cause his mouth opens too much and he loses it. He was a good boy as far as I could tell while I was at the dentist! Symptoms are still there, praying they subside soon!!! I am still very overwhelmed with the amount of support he has!!! Keep up the great work Prayer Warriors!!! |

| Ace Update - Had another good night!! Mixed him up some mash(watered down pellets) this morning and he gobbled it right up!! Also giving him a little dry pellets that he eats also! Still having trouble with his hay! While my awesome mom did the rest of the chores I spent my time brushing him, brushing out his tail and picking his stall!!! Ace is very bad with spray bottles (fly spay, show sheen, etc) around his back legs, he dances around trying to get away from it. I tried to spray some medicine on his wounds and he was dancing around like he does when I spray him with spray bottles!! As always, Ace's Prayer Warriors are AWESOME!!!! Keep up the great work!!!! |
