Anya Update: Prayers Still Needed

Anya seems to have taken a downturn this morning. She is refusing food and has low energy again. She is still very critical and we are very concerned about her. Continued prayers are definitely needed and appreciated.

Yesterday Anya seemed to rally and we were feeling cautiously optimistic about her progress. The vet was completely amazed at her fighting spirit and said any other dog he's ever worked on who's undergone the major surgeries and trauma that Anya has endured is usually dead within hours. The fact that she's held out this long is truly miraculous! We attribute it to the faith and prayers of so many who love Anya, as well as Anya's strong determination to live. Thank you for praying! Please keep it up! She's still critical. Every minute and every hour she hangs on increases her likelihood of survival.

Yesterday when Anya seemed to be gaining strength the vet tech sent me these pictures of her. She looks more alert and healthy in these pics than we've seen her look in 10 days. It made me so happy to see her feeling a little better. I'm sad that did not last long, but we hope to see her like this again. Again, I invite you to join with us in prayer for our sweet Anya.
