Message: <blockquote data-quote="desert voice" data-source="post: 28012" data-attributes="member: 3066">thanks for keeping on the thread with me.  it's good to have some feedback.  last night was a really monumental change in her.  i turned her over to give her water and i used the paint brush to just stroke her lightly and when i did, i got so much response especially in her back legs.  she's far from being able to walk but there is very discernible improvement in her reactions and motion so the story could still have a happy ending.  i tried to take a video of her today to capture that but not sure how it looks.  haven't had time to review it.  hey, thanks for checking into the nutrient in the water thing.  i was kind of wondering as i swept up some dead bugs that came in last nite if i could grind those to a powder with a mortar and pestle or something and put a small amount in the water.  i'm afraid to overload her system is the only thing since there's not a lot going on with her.  believe me it would be a miniscule amount anyway based on the drop that she gets.  thanks and i look forward to what you may discover.  when i get a minute--bogged down right now--i'll check it out too.look forward to hearing from you.linda</blockquote>
