I live in the area and have been getting regular emails on her condition. The last one was at 5:09 this afternoon and read:

Patty Thiel is doing better today and can move her fingers. This is very encouraging. She will undergo a third operation tomorrow...The dog that ran off was the victim of the fight Patty tried to break up; he was found by Animal Control with severe puncture wounds in his rear legs but he’s home now. He’s in pain but he is recovering. Robert hopes to bail the other 3 dogs out of impound tomorrow; he says they are very stressed and losing weight and he wants them safely back home.

Do you get your reports through CaringBridge by any chance? We have a young man in our church who made the mistake of visiting a park, late at night, in a less than desirable part of town and was critically injured when attacked by several people, one of whom used a baseball bat as a weapon. He was touch and go for several weeks and his family used CaringBridge to keep those interested in his progress up to date.

So glad to hear she's doing better. I put no stock in what I hear on the radio at all. The report was probably two or three days old by the time I heard it.

Thanks for the encouraging news!
