Kind of a sad day today however God has already blessed us with a miracle. Our Beautiful Trouble raced me out the door today only to jump over gate that keeps the chickens off the porch. When she did she caught her foot badly. Luckily I was right behind her and was able to (drop my favorite coffee cup) and sn**ch her up and help her off the gate. But I realized at that point that her foot was badly injured.
We rushed her down to the hospital, and when the doctor looked at her, she said she’d never seen one of these injuries come without surgery she most likely has fractured all of the bones in the section of her foot and will need surgery. They wouldn’t be able to perform the surgery until Monday morning so she’ll need to stay here all weekend because orthopedic surgeons won’t come in unless it’s life or death. At that moment, my heart dropped and I started thinking of all the costs. The doctor spit out a number like $10-$15,000 and my heart sank immediately. She left the room and I started to pray to God for a miracle. I continue to speak His name and pray over and over and how I did not deserve this, but that I was believing for a miracle that her food was not fractured. It felt like an eternity later the doctor walked in with a big smile on her face and said shockingly that they can’t see any fractures and it looks just like a bad dislocation. At that moment, I told her God answered my prayers, and that He gave us this miracle. She couldn’t believe it either after seeing how badly twisted her leg was.
We aren’t out of the woods yet. She still has to see an orthopedic surgeon on Tuesday because they are worried that there’s tendons or ligaments not connected. They couldn’t get the bone fully back in the right position, but they sedated her and tried to place it and splinted it so now we’re home and she’s resting. The saddest part to me of all is that she’s not allowed to go back with her puppies. She had for the most part weaned them already, but I know how important that is so I’m hoping that soon she’ll be able to hobble around and be able to go back inside with some supervised visits. My heart breaks for them and her, but I do feel so blessed by the gift God has gaven us - that I do not deserve.
