I wonder if he knows all the odds he has defied. 🦄

It’s too cold out here for this Floridian. 🥶

Mardi update: Last week we took Mardi to Rood and Riddle with a gross ear situation and worsening facial paralysis. The ear did end up having a massive infection that was resistant to the antibiotics he was on, and the swelling from it was once again pushing on his poor facial nerves. They got that under control quickly. He never even had to go on hunger strike.

But… they did tell me that his CT scan showed that the right side of his THO was almost as bad as his left side and needed the same surgery ASAP. Since we couldn’t chance his right side blowing up and causing more nerve damage, we had the surgery done 2 days later. He is most likely going to lose that left eye, and we knew he couldn’t manage losing both eyes.

I hated to put him through another surgery so soon after the first, but he is doing well with it. He was back in his stall and eating hay like nothing had ever happened just a few hours later. The poor guy has been in a hospital for around a month now, but he’s got people loving on him constantly, so he is tolerating it. Kentucky is too far for me to just go visit him, but his wonderful vet up there sends me pics. 🥹

Another day, another hospital. I will spare you the gross details about what was going on with Mardi, but we decided to take him to Rood and Riddle in Kentucky last night. Not sure what it is yet, but they are thinking/hoping massive ear infection secondary to his THO that is resistant to the antibiotics he was on. We should know more in 48 hours once the current antibiotics he was on are out of his system and they can do a culture and another CT scan. I hated to leave him at an unfamiliar place again, but the team there was already loving all over him and telling him how special he was, so I think he will feel right at home. As for me…I. Am. Tired.

Rehab day #6? The nurse becomes the patient. 🥴 Mardi has shown so much improvement with his balance this week that I guess I stupidly took it for granted this morning. I was picking his back feet when he lost his balance and snatched his foot away from me to catch himself, uppercutting me in the chin in the process. My jaw hurts a lot, but I can move it and the ER doc said I didn’t have to have a CT scan if I didn’t want to wait around (I didn’t!), just stitches and a tetanus shot. Moral of the story… it doesn’t matter how comfortable you are around your horse, when they are recovering from any sort of issue, use extra caution because you can’t predict what may happen. Now Mardi and I are twinsies with our under chin stitches and sore jaw!

Took this goofy looking boy for his first little hand walk today. It was a lot like escorting a drunk friend back to the car after a long night of partying. 🥴 I did get a chance to give him a good grooming and get the dull fresh out of the hospital look off of him with some Unicorn Grooming Spray.

Mardi update: Our boy is HOME! Now the long road to hopeful nerve recovery can begin. Big obstacle #1 is to keep his mask on to protect his eye until the eyelid can function again. 🤞🤞 To my absolute delight, I could tell that Mardi has at least some hearing in his right ear. You can tell he is having to adjust to some things like half of his muzzle not working and not being able to fully see out of the left eye, but he’s a smart boy. I’m just happy to be able to touch him without gloves and supervision and to see him every day again! So many thanks to everyone for all of the help and encouragement!! We have needed and appreciated every bit of it! 🙏

We have been radio silent for a while because our one and only unicorn has been through a hellish nightmare over the last couple of weeks, and his fight really has only just begun. I’ve been riding horses my entire life and had never heard of Temporohyoid osteoarthropathy (THO) until It absolutely turned our world upside down. Despite having him at a hospital within hours of anything being wrong (head tilting and stopped eating) and transporting him to a surgical hospital within 48 hours, his condition (eventual facial paralysis and ataxia of the hind limbs) continued to progress to his vestibular nerve until he finally got the surgery he needed (ceratohyoidectomy) 7 days later. He is now permanently deaf in at least one ear. His eyelid has lost nerve function and therefore has to stay sutured shut to protect the eye which had already developed a corneal ulcer in the time it had been exposed. His lips are partially paralyzed and hang down on one side and his left ear is also paralyzed. It’s a rare condition and cannot be prevented. The cause is unknown. It will leave most horses with at least some residual permanent damage and some will never return to work again, especially when the vestibular nerve was damaged. But THO has never met a horse like Mardi…The mighty TB that has kicked every single issue he has ever faced right in the butt and come out fighting even harder on the other side. There is so little info out there on rehabbing this disease that the hospital hasn’t been able to offer me much guidance on a rehab plan, so I will be researching, asking around online communities, and making educated stabs in the dark for as long as it takes to help him. It could be weeks, months, or even years before we will know just how far the healing will go. So stay tuned to follow his journey. 🙏Share his journey. 🙏The more followers we have, the better chance we have of coming across someone who may have useful info. Tell your friends about our product. Not only is it just a good product, but buying it now will support Mardi’s healing journey. (pic from before facial paralysis)
