Fancy's mom, Connie called me last night to let me know how she was doing.
They got her to the hospital and she said it took a half an hour to get the blood of off Fancy's leg. It was caked on there, and I don;t think there was an inch of that leg that wasn't caked in thick, multi layers of blood.
The wound was bigger than they had thought, but the pressure bandage did its job, and it had started to coagulate by the time the Dr. cut our "field bandage" off. She decided not to stitch it, to let it drain naturally. She put a fresh bandage on it, started her on anntibiotics and Bute for the pain, and sent Connie home with Fancy with home-care instructions. She will be on stall rest for two days, then on to a hand walking regiment. Fancy should be ready to ride in a couple to three weeks. I am so happy she is going to be just fine! I will let you all know when we go riding together, as we are going to! It will be great!
