Raven's Home: Plus Update
Sunday, March 14, 2021 at 12:55PM 
Good news. She is home. She has milk and she was over the moon and I mean over the moon happy to see her pups. She is feeding the pups and I will post videos as I can. I am a bit fried between this and the time change.
Misty also looked - they are going but it was as if she knew that Raven was mom to these 3. Misty as a 1st time mom has a heart that is golden. I am SO proud of her. Sometimes mom reject other mom's pups but she didn't miss a beat. She loved them up. I do not say it lightly but I have amazing moms. It is one of the reasons you cry your head off when they have an emergency like this. Wearing a mask and crying is not easy. Glad I had extra masks with me.
We await any signs of infection. They did clean her out again to try to minimize infection. If it doesn't occur within 36 to 48 hours then she will be okay. They asked us to monitor 24/7 and take temps 3 times a day. She will so love me being so intrusive but better to catch early if something ocurs. They didn't realize we monitor normally.
She will have the pain meds wear off tonight, we are told about 7ish. She can no longer have pain meds if feeding pups. Funny she was on the same opiods Nathan was on. She is on max antibiotics just for 5 days unless her temps spike. As a dog that has never ever had anything wrong with her, she has that on her side.
I am hopeful now. I wasn't last night from what they said and stories of having to put a dog down that had something similar as they couldn't combat the infection - they really interfered with any possible sleep. Strange what people tell you that adds to your worry. They mean well but then your brain does not disengage.
Nathan is napping now.
So far she is alert, eating and feeding pups. Thank you from getting us from an emergency to back home. I so appreciate all of you! I know we have this 48 hour window but I am going to try not to think about it. Sure I will takes temps (normal last time) but I am hoping she will be playing with pups when we have a 6 week visit.
Her pups are lively and beautiful. .

Raven wants to feed her pups sitting up. They are too young for that but I suspect it is due to being sore. pain meds have stopped being effective and she can't have anymore. As I type, she is fast asleep for the very first time today so I am keeping it quiet. When she wakes up I will take her temp again (so far normal) and weigh the pups. I suspect they will hold firms as her milk needs to fully come in where Misty has an abundance. We will see how it all unfolds. I will be adding more videos tonight.

Just saw the wonderful news that Raven is home! Mommy Raven can now be with her beautiful babies. Thank you Misty for stepping in to help...you are an amazing mommy too! Sending Raven and everyone at Talemaker’s positive thoughts. Keeping Raven in my prayers for a speedy recovery! ❤️🤗
We are so happy it is all working out. I am sure Raven in having her pups with her will also be a healing thing. Although you will now have more work with temp checking, I am sure you are over the moon to have Raven HOME!
I can't imagine how relieved you must feel. Seeing Raven and her pups made me melt and all your kisses, I am sending my kisses for Raven too. She is so beautiful I know she will be fine. She has the VERY BEST attention with all of you. She is so lucky. Hope you get some rest. I am with all your other supporters, whatever we can do for you, just ask. Hugs and kisses.
Such good news!😘
Looking at this post and photo and my heart fills up with positivity! So good to see Raven home and Nathan beside her. Fingers crossed temperature stays normal. Poor thing she went through a lot and you with her as well. I hope, besides the person doing the night shift, everyone will get some rest.
Dennis is sleeping now so he can do night shift. I may drop dead asleep and wake up and take a video - which is norm. It's the mom in me. LOL
Ronnie: Not completely relaxed. Will be in 36 hours. they kept telling me the worse case scenario and their experiences with a ruptured uterus but they didn't truly know Raven. Let's hope that is the case! I am SO glad at what I am seeing so far. Not relaxed yet but better than yesterday!
Dear Darlah and Nathan

So glad to hear this news. Praying that Raven has a full recovery. Such an incredible dog, along with her pups. Misty was also a natural stepping in for her!
