survival and the 'power of positive thinking' (long...)

:beam: Poop was never so exciting as it is now!! So glad to hear he went!!

Can't wait to see pics of the little miracle baby! He's so lucky to have such a wonderful human Mommy! :main_yes:

I am still concerned he could develop an infection. I did my best to keep everything sterile, but his little bowel may have already been infected, too.

To quote Erin Bristow (Eric's wife), "It's the power of positive thinking"...

wooooohooooo!!! I'm glad to hear that he had a little poop. Keep us updated on this little guy!

Hey Marcia, I just want to say, in something so traumatic, you found hope, and THAT is what makes YOU, such a GREAT breeder!!!

 

[nwheat]

And you were soooo happy to be pooped on this time!!

 

[lytlesnake]

Or as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog would say, "Marcia, you're the best...........for me to poop on!"

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

LOL... I usually curse when I get pooped on (some may remember a major poop incident at the San Jose Reptile Show last November). But this time, I cried for joy!

I am so glad that the little one is doing so well. Well done Marcia. You're a good mommy!

Way old post, but how is the little one?

Congradulations on the little guy!

Don't know how I missed this, but way to go Marcia!

Yes, it's a good time for an update!! :heart:

**UPDATE**

This little guy is still going strong! He has doubled in weight (from less than a gram to 2 grams!), and has gone through 2 sheds... neither of which he could do by himself. He is still not eating on his own, but will much on tiny mealworms if I hand-feed him. His super-glue incision has healed up normally with no complications, and his carrot-head coloring is starting to come in.

I'll post some pics soon...

 

[PacHerp]

I was going to ask for some updated pictures! He is so stinkin' cute...

I'm glad to hear this little guy is still going strong!

 

[MSMD]

Wonderful to hear, Marcia! Can't wait to see pics of the little trooper!

 

[fallen_angel]

That's just wonderful Marcia, I am so glad to hear that he is doing better and his incision healed well!! Congrats to such a wonderful mother :heart:

 

[Michelle]

W9nderful news!!!!

 

[bitterbeauty]

Wow! That is amazing. Super glue has soooo many uses! lol

She/he should get a name to match their story. Im thinking miracle, chance or lucky!

Keep us updated!

 

[gothra]

Wow Marcia, that really is wonderful news!!

I'm so glad you were able to save the baby. quick thinking with the super glue. that stuff can fix anything. My dad once had the tip of his thumb glued back on with super glue. can't even tell it was ever missing.
keeping my fingers crossed for him.
