Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | No baby yet. I am hoping we are still baking. She has gotten up one more time on her own, but other than that she is mainly laying sitting up. She is still perky and always hungry! I swore with the 40 degree temperature drop last night, but when I saw she had not waxed or dripped I knew we were still not destined for the grand entrance of this baby.
I did receive confirmation from A&M that she could still go until full labor even if she does not get back up. I am hoping this is worst case scenario, but we still have infection draining from her foot and leg. I pray that she does not abort after everything she has gone through.
I did get some great advice on getting a goat to help as a substitute nurse mare as well as a name for a farrier after we pull through this ordeal (this is my positive thought for the day).
Thank you to everyone for sticking with me and all the wonderful comments, suggestions, pm's and number one PRAYERS! |

Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | Sorry I did not respond this weekend. We had a two day high school rodeo two hours from our house. I had someone feeding her and taking care of her for the day time, but I did not feel like I could stay the night away. I came home Sunday morning at 3:30 and no baby. I got her up for 20 minutes and rebidded her stall (I am picky that way :) took a shower laid down for two hours and then got back up to take care of her before I left for the Sunday rodeo performance.
Came home last night and we just do not seem to be progressing. Found my daughters stethoscope and tried to find a heart beat. Not sure that we really heard anything outside of gut noises. My daughter swore she heard a heart beat. Redressed her leg and the good news was we had no infection in her bandages. We are able to get her up for 15-20 minute intervals, but she will not do it on her own.
We have made the decision to call out the vet tomorrow if she still has not foaled tonight and to verify that we still have a live foal. I am exhausted, but I am sure Reckless would tell me "You think you're tired"! I am still hoping their is life still within her and she is just baking him/her extra special. |

Location: NE Texas | Continued thoughts and prayers for you and Reckless, Beancounter. I'm praying she foals soon with no complications and for a healthy baby. Hopefully the reduced weight she's carrying can also give her relief and help her to heal. |

Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | Sorry guys still no baby (and yes, yesterday was official due date). She did get up several times last night as if to get into position. Both my daughter and I took turns getting up and checking on her. The vet comes out this afternoon, so maybe he can give me an idea.
Here's a pic I snook in when I got home from work. "A girl and her horse".
