Eyes of the World

Patty, the diamond-back terrapin that was caught out in the cold (actually was frozen, see: Cold-Stunned Terrapin “Patty” Newest Patient) is making excellent progress. The blood in the eyes is resolving, and now that she can see again she is starting to eat.  She still has serious neurological disease and difficulty with the hind legs, but with daily physical therapy that seems to be improving too.  Slow and steady wins the race, so hang in there Patty!
