TurnipOrange 149 Report post Posted September 18, 2018 Surgery to stabilize her spine went very well so the surgeon said. He has protected the spinal cord form any more damage. Bit early for a result, but we are hoping for some more improvements in her movement scooby3051, Gordy55, Aaron Bidlake and 17 others 14 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnipOrange 149 Report post Posted September 23, 2018 She is doing ok with her injuries. I do have some concern as she has not moved her left leg, Her arms and right led seem to have normal function. She has been in Bed the whole time and they are going to try her in a wheelchair today. That wont be that comfortable as she has 5 broken ribs Baz (NZ), napier, Belinda and 1 other 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Sparrow 702 Report post Posted March 5, 2020 It says a lot for her tenacity and overall character/spirit to come back from that horrendous fall and horrendous spinal injuries. Not many do with spinal injuries like she had. Champion effort from her and I wish her best with her life whatever that holds. I also hope she decides not to race ride again (as that must be a temptation for one with such a strong and competitive nature as Maija) as the exponential risks to her future, associated with a secondary fall, don't bear thinking about. All the best Maija. I am hoping we may see this amazing young lady training horses one day as Mum and Dad are dab hands at it.
