agreed. keep the temp cranked too.

Good NEWS

Well I am happy happy. My little girl is going good. She still seems a bit week in the neck but no RI. She is moving around a bit. It is truly a miracle, so now the hard part....what should I name her???

Lucky would seem appropriate

I went through something similar not too long ago except it was the other extreme, extreme heat. My little gal almost got boiled alive due to UPS (left her out in the sun) and I thought she was dead when I finally got her. She was upside-down and lifeless when I pulled her out, mouth gaping open and completely limp. I put a drop of water in her mouth to see if anything would happen and her body miraculously had a small reaction to it. So I held her body up and injected more water drops into her mouth with a small water syringe (no needle) and then I left her for a day in a nice dark cooled area by a water dish and she somehow survived. I couldn't believe it! I named her Nasya which is Hebrew for miracle :-)

I was just curious how the little girl is doing and also.. what you decided to name her? She's been on my mind a lot lately

I am very happy to say she is doing great. I would never have thought she could pull through that but she is. She ate herself a pinky rat and is happy.

I have decided to call her Magical Miracle M & M for short

I am glad your little one survived!
