Elsa is back at her vet..
Good News: She is moving around and talking/complaining.. She can stand on all 4 and walk. Her chest is still raspy but she is breathing a lot better.
Bad News: She is blind. Doctor said her vision could return with time. Her body temperature is still low, so they are keeping her in a heated, O2 enriched compartment.
I hope to pick her up and bring her home tonight. I will have several updates through the day...
This is her picture this morning during transport... I did not get a picture of her standing however.

The Doctors Do NOT KNOW EVERYTHING! One thing I did not share, last night the Doctors said she was not going to make it and was going down here.... They recommended putting her down.... I told them "NO, I CAN'T DO THAT", and that I had friends that are Prayer Warriors and that she is going to come through it... To their surprise she walked this morning...
Again, she has a long way to go... A Big up hill battle, but she is a fighter and I know she can do it... Right now, she is vocal, and that I feel is a good sign...

For anyone that is interested, the linked file is the Doctors Report. Was going to upload it, but it was a little too big. I do not understand a lot it all, but it may explain better than I can... It is in Adobe PDF Format.

John, is there anything that you want to know that you do not understand? Many of us here understand this report very well...but...I think you should talk it over with your vet and ask any questions you need to ask...
I have been... I read the report 2 times, and I think I get the most of it, but trying to take it from there context and type in here a lot would be lost.. The scanner and PDF makes it much clearer without the chance of misinterpretation... Most of what I do not understand in terminology Google and WIKIPEDIA helps out.
I am staying in close contact with the vet and should have another update around 11AM.
