Lindsey, I am so happy for you and Layla, sounds like she is on the road to recovery. I am so glad you found the yahoo board, I hope they can answer all of your questions and give you good advice on what you should be doing or what to expect. Good luck

Thank you all for so much love and support! Layla can still stand for a few seconds tonight before her legs collapse. We have to pull her to a standing position, but she can hold it. I am beyond thrilled! And to think, a few weeks ago my biggest worry was getting her to not poop in the living room
 Now she can poop wherever she wants as long as she can walk first I am so excited for her therapy tomorrow, I hope the vet is as thrilled as we are with her progress over the last day!

Lindsay, will you be taking her for another Reike session? I hope so as I think that really might help "awaken" the connection between her brain and spinal cord.

Yes, Gayle, we'll be going for Reiki again on Sunday
The woman said that she just started working with another paralyzation case too, an 18 year old boy who was in a car accident and is now paralyzed below the waist! She said she is confident she can help both the boy and Layla, but she can't say to what extent they will heal. After updating about Layla's condition yesterday, I got a reply from someone on the IVDD list and she said that's a great sign that Layla shows she could almost hold her own weight, because that means that there are some signals to her legs from her spinal cord! I guess that's obvious but having it said to me like that gave me tons of confidence in her. Last night she would stand for a few seconds everytime we tried. Her right leg is weaker and she tends to start falling to that side, so Scott leaned that side up against her crate and she stood for about 5 seconds! Her feet also seem to be a lot more sensitive to touch now. There's still no deep pain response, but touching now gets an immediate reflex of pulling back or kicking, instead of having to squeeze like we did last week.
