Thanks everyone! I'm trying my hardest to stay positive. Layla is back with her original therapist now because she's back from her time off. We were so excited yesterday with Layla's improvement, and she told us that yes, Layla is improving from the last time we saw her, but she's just improving reflexes. There is still no sign that her spinal cord is healing or will ever heal. She said even her being able to hold her own weight is just a reflex. It just made me feel like crying
 I guess I should stop getting my hopes up so high.

What do the people on the yahoo board say about her progress? I think this therapist is being a bit pessimistic - I think people need something to hang onto, something that instills hope, and I think those signs are there. I don't think it is necessary to dash all hopes. I would consult with the "experts" on the yahoo board and see what they think.
SHE IS MAKING PROGRESS! Baby steps, baby steps, are just fine!!!

She is better than she was a week ago, I just have to remember that. On the yahoo group, they just tell me "Be happy that she's not in pain, she loves you, and anything beyond that is just icing on the cake"
I wish I could feel that way. She is still my baby but it hurts to see her struggle or know she can't do things she could do before. I know I mind more than she does.

Yes you are right, you mind much more than she does. YOU are her whole life and whatever she can or can't do doesn't matter much to her as long as YOU are there! That is important to remember. I still believe she will recover - my mom's doxy recovered after about 4 -6 weeks. It was a long time, but he walked again. I think Layla will too!
