Update on Norton the Dog

From Jennifer:
Norton Update: He made it through the night! His leg bone didn't pop out and is stable. He is in quite a bit of pain and his other leg is still iffy with the skin coming off and making an open wound. He was able to start eating though and his urine has cleared up so that is great news! He is going to stay the night there again tonight, the Dr. thinks it's best to be safe than sorry and make sure he is in the best condition to be able to come home, so hopefully tomorrow we will be able to see him. We will have to get a kennel for him to be in for a few weeks as he will be unable to move or walk. Gonna have to use a strap to hold his belly up to bring him potty outside. All things considering I am so happy he has made it through this so far. Thank you so much for the prayers and thoughts, they are working and he's getting better everyday. ♥

God Bless you, Jennifer, and dearest Norton!!! Be assured prayers on the way!!
Blessed Francis Seelos, St. Jude, St. Roch, St. Anthony, St. Francis, and Our Lady, please lay your healing comforting hands on sweet Norton - comfort him and heal him. May his veterinary team be able to successfully control his pain and discomfort while he heals, and yes, please, allow him to be home with his family where more significant healing will take place. Give him strength and your healing comforting touch and allow him to know how very much he is loved.

Norton is doing much better already after just one week. He is putting weight on the leg where his thigh was dislocated and even walking a little big with a little assistance. Eating and drinking good and taking his medications. Might be able to get his other leg unwrapped tomorrow to let the crush wounds heal. He is wearing a cone so he doesn't lick or itch his wounds and road rash. Your prayers have meant so much to us I cannot thank everyone enough! Thank you!
