Brand new report that just came out about an hour or 2 ago says that Dr. Richardson found a bacterial infection in Barbaro's left hind (his good leg). He is going to be informing the Jacksons of the details tomorrow. We should have more information (hopefully) sometime tomorrow also.
This is *after* the abscess was cleaned and re-bandaged yesterday? Oh, dear.
Let's see ... I was afraid the frequent in-and-out of the pool might be keeping it too moist, letting germs grow. But we found out yesterday that they're doing a local sedative, instead of full anesthesia, and I'm guessing that doesn't require the pool recovery - but they did say they used a sling.
Do they have slings they rig up on "dry land," such as in the stall? Hope that's not a stupid question, but if it just eased him off the legs for just a little bit, just like my traction unit for my neck eases the pressure off my cervical vertebrae for 30 or so minutes, maybe that would help? Just wondering out loud.
Godspeed, Barbaro, Godspeed!
