Kidznpupz sent a request for prayers for her daughter Meg's injured horse.
Please say some healing prayers for our Charlie. He was injured seriously, and we do not know what caused it. He somehow managed to cut his extensor tendon on his left front leg. The skin was cut like a flap. The vet was called and the wound was sutured and cleaned. Nobody seemed to know just what happened to him and that really bothered us. He has been moved to another boarding facility at this time.
While at his former boarding facility the wound completely reopened. The new vet (who we really respect because he takes care of all the horses at the Meadowlands and Yonkers Racetrack as well as the Big Apple Circus) said that he has only a 50% chance of recovering function in his leg and may not ever be able to be ridden again because he will drag his foot and "knuckle over" on it.
He is going to the Warwick Equine Hospital on Tuesday for surgery to clean out the wound and hopefully do some repair work on the tendon. After a couple of days of healing they are going to put a fiberglass cast on the leg to keep it immobile and he needs to be at the hospital for three weeks so they can keep an eye on the cast.
Please pray for his recovery. Even if things go well its going to take a long time. I will give everyone updates as we know anything. I know that FOB prayers really work. Please take just a moment to place Charlie's healing in your hearts and in your prayers
If you would like to take a moment and light a candle for him, here is the link to his candle page. Joanne and Meg thank you for all your healing prayers.
