Star's makeover

Yesterday we took Star from Chukka at afternoon visiting and put her in the wash. She came out looking much perkier, and with superlatively pink fluffy ears. We washed her scarf and re-wound it, and added our small gift from Innsbruck Alt-Stadt -- a twinkly blue crystal Swarovski star. She looked really refreshed and ready for her duties of 24 hour Chukka support and cheer.

We returned her at evening visiting hours.

Chukka had three solid meals (small ones) yesterday, which is a first. We think she will go in for some more surgery today, so every day is different, but a definite sense of moving forward, slowly.

She seems much brighter and more 'present' than when I was last here a week ago. She is co-operating with all the treatment they suggest. Yesterday was a holiday (Fingsten) so we didn' have a chance to see a doctor (not that it is easy to know when we will see one!). She is still in ICU, not sure how long for.

We have conveyed the support messages from the blog to her, hoping that she will be able to read them herself one day not too far away.
