Molly's Back from Week of Intensive Rehab

Goldheart sent Molly to Dr Scheuler's for a week of intensive rehab: Below is Lynette's FB update:
As most of you know Molly spent five days at Dr. Scheuler's last week to receive some intensive therapy to try and strengthen the muscles in her back legs as she has never had the use of them. They were quite pleased with her progress and Molly is actually standing some and her back legs definitely look stronger when she is standing. She still cannot walk but this is to be expected at this point in her recovery. I will keep everyone updated as she progresses. Please pray for a mircale for Molly!

I attended our annual fall golden romp today at Lancaster County Park coordinated by our Golden Leader, Rob. Bless his heart! We had close to 20 dogs in attendence! But what made the romp even better was: he had the idea for me to make an announcement about Molly (most already heard about her). I updated everyone with her current status posted on Lynette's FB page that I had just read a few hours prior. He aslo had a bucket available for folks to contribute to her care. They sent me home with $141 and Rob's instructions to email him the details and he will send out a plea to the remaining 90 or so folks who did not attend but are on his golden romp email list!

Thank God for folks like Rob and all Molly's other friends AND the rescues like Goldheart who are willing to give pups like Molly the best chances available for a the most normal life possible! If you would like to help Molly, contributions can be made directly to http://www.goldheart.org/. Molly is featured right on their home page!

Please keep praying for Molly's Miracle and THANKS to everyone for your support and prayers!

Let the rehab begin!

Molly went to Dr Scheuler last Monday and came back with some good results. Lynette told me Dr Scheuler saw about a 5% improvement. He knew that didn't seem like much, but he hadn't expected to see that at this point. He worked her legs a bit and Molly was NOT happy about that, so she definitely has feeling back there!

He wanted her to come stay for a week so they could work with her and I just saw on Lynette's FB page that she will be going there tomorrow for five days for intensive therapy. They will be able to give her pain shots to he can start working her leg muscles. She will also do swim therapy while there.

This week at the specialist will not be inexpensive, so again, I'll put out a plea for financial help for Molly's care. It can be sent to GoldHeart Golden Retriever Rescue. http://www.goldheart.org/. If you can let them  know it is to help sweet little Molly!

Here is a pic of the sweetie swimming at Lynette's with her new life vest!

Happy Days are here again!

Molly is saying - "Please, please come and save me -
I am being held prisoner in this wire cage."
She only has 7 more weeks to go!



Lynette's latest posts on Facebook are so encouraging. Molly's doing much better. Our sweet little girl is back to being the sweet little girl we all have come to love...











How Molly can sleep like that is beyond me - what I find so endearing is the way her legs are crossed in the front and she is so sound asleep!



Thanks Lynette for the updates. 

Thanks everyone for all you prayers and donations through Goldheart.

Tues, 10-04: Molly is doing great - eating like a pig and when she is allowed out of her crate she is so energetic - she is only allowed out 3 times a day for 10 minutes but she so treasures those 10 minutes. She goes outside and looks at the sky and the trees and I can almost hear her saying - isn't this wonderful.

Bad day :(

Lynette's daily Facebook post:

"My daily update on Molly - she has not had a good day which is to be expected but it is still a little discouraging. Please keep Molly in your prayers."


I don't know about you, but I can't get the precious pup out of my mind and will pray for her frequently every day!

Whew....she's eating!

Lynette's FB post: 

Molly has had a good day today even with the cold and the rain. She has eaten like a pig! I sure do love that feisty, courageous little girl!

A good night's rest !

Our girl resting after a long day and a good dinner!

Lynette sent an update late last evening: 

Molly is resting comfortably and ate a great dinner - I cheated a little and put some homemade spaghetti in it and she gobbled it up and then drank a ton of water. She is sleeping and resting comfortably now - I think it was probably painful for her to drive in the car all that distance. 

If I have to cook her food myself she will eat!

Check back for more updates.
