So what is this clock all about??
Well Marley did 20 minutes on his treadmill tonight~ Not only that but he was in the tank alone. No help! He also didn't require as much cheering on and treats either.
Marley did drift off to the side and tried to stand on the edge that doesn't move. But Dr. Sosna has seen it all before and she has a fix for just about everything. A quick toss of a pool noodle in the tank and that problem was solved.
Both Dr. Sosna and his therapist, Elmer, are very pleased with how much he improves from one visit to the next.
I like to say that Marley was the perfect storm. We were monitoring his injury like hawks! Within 12 hours of becoming paralyzed Marley was in surgery with his fantastic Neurologist, Dr. Stevenson. Then his first post surgery TTouch session was while he was still in the hospital hooked up to tubes and it continues daily. Steve and I made sure he had the perfect set up at home - complete with orthopedic "hospital" beds. I even got to borrow the best of crates from my friend, Kerry.
I also found a website called DodgersList.com that is an invaluable resource for downed dogs. With their help we got through those first very tough and frightening days.
Now Marley has the best rehab Dr. and Therapists to help him get to normal......or better. Oh, and you should just SEE all his supplements. Marley is such a good boy he is sharing them all with Pierre and Sammi so they have less risk of this happening to them.
With all this support and the love and prayers from friends across the globe Little Marley Troup has no choice but to have a complete healing.

All of this hard work from so many people would be worthless if not for Marley's determination. Just look how hard he is working out on the treadmill with his little tongue poking out!
Tonight Elmer took Marley through an Obstacle course that helps him with his balance and teaches him to be more agile on his feet. Take a look at this video. Can you believe this little guy could not stand up 3 weeks ago?

Wow, Linda, I love these posts and am so impressed with the progress here.
