Blue 1,095 Report post Posted November 8, 2018 I thought I read somewhere Maija had taken her first couple of steps. That's actually a giant leap forward. A few years ago after open heart surgery I did the 100km Oxfam walk. With a daughter and a couple of her friends we cut it out in just on 20 hours and finished 8th from 280-odd teams. Someone asked how do you walk 100kms and so I say to Maija it's just one foot in front of the other 100,000 times. No doubt she'll get there.

scooby3051 10,857 Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Hi everyone Maija will be keeping everyone up to date here with her progress and also how the Horses are going as well. Here is her latest progress and her best mate.... FROM MAIJA I've been getting a bit more movement and feeling through my legs, I do physio twice a day and they have just started letting me do independent excercises which is things I'm okay to do in the gym by myself which I spend most of my day doing. My release date from hospital was supposed to be the 21st of November, however they want me to stay an extra two weeks because they are worried I might hurt myself if I go home to early, as I'm always trying to do things I'm not quite capable of yet. I've been able to put some weight through my legs while in a frame holding my body, although my left leg is having a lot of spasms, it's spasms uncontrollably through out the whole day and almost every time I try move, the doctors are planning to treat it with an injection of botox to try stop the spasms. My Dad comes in every morning to see me and bring Toro in and my Mum comes every evening to have dinner with me and take toro home.

scooby3051 10,857 Report post Posted January 8, 2019 Updates on the syndicate horses..... Unfortunately Moonflower has had an elevated temperature for a few days that has not responded satisfactorily to treatment, so will miss the trials at Cambridge next Tuesday. It’s nothing serious but she is just in need of a week or so in isolation with a hot toddy to fully recover. Janelle Millar reports that Jakki has been back in work a couple of weeks now and so far so good. The new Charm Spirit filly, nickname Snickers, will be back at the stable Monday and I will get a video of both next week.
