Prayers from my bunch.  Let us know how it goes.

thank you all, i am awaiting a visit from the vet again this morning.. Jet has not passed the mineral oil.. and it was given at 8 last night.. the banamine wore off around 2, he got pretty restless, no rolling, but still uncomfy...
this morning at 9 he crashed again.. he has a severe twist.... vet had hoped that it woudl "work it way out"....
 but it hasnt,i am in a state of shck, disbelief and mostly i am depressed.
i told HH last night { thank you so much by the way, you are an angel!}  that Just has been  really ouchy and off the last few days, in fact since  his last exercise, he has been favoring his right knee again.. it wasnt a long workout at all...
i had been riding Jet, so that i could get him running, now i am not sure of what i am going to do.He is my back up horse, and with my finished acting the way he is, i am pretty uncertain,
i know i have to get my head on right.vet shoud be here soon,i called him at 9....it is 11 now.....bryan is at work, thankfully mom is off work today to sit with anabelle. i have the guy who did the arena for me,  he does backhoe work as well...i hope i dont need it, but since Jet has crashed again...and no sign of mineral oil at all... i am praying for a 9th inning miracle, and i am being shut out by the home team right now.
 thank  you everyone, i cant tell  ya'll how much ya'll mean to me....i will keep ya'll updated.

Still praying for you all, hang in there.{{{{HUGS}}}}

Oh Aimee.  I am so emotinal with everything else going on I am sitting here at work crying reading your post.  I really hope he comes out of it.   I hate the feeling of not being able to do anything.  Do you know what caused him to colic?  I am going to PM you with my phone #, you call me day or night if you need anything.  I am not a wise owl like Shan, HH, or Val, but I can listen and I'm pretty good at talking.

Come on Jet pull threw we need you, Aimee needs you!

well vet just left, 1:00 here.. he felt no twist, no blockage, but Jet's heart rate is still elevated amd his breathing is still racing..
 he whinnies at everyone in the barn... he is a herd bound butt anyway... no manure passed still.. but now am waiting until 5 or 6 when this round of banamine and xyloxine wears off... i dont want him to suffer,,, vet still says he may crash for good, all depends on how long and badly he was twisted..if any permanent damage was done. got some fluids in him, just wait and see now.
 i am trying to keep busy and not fall apart until the last dice has been thrown, but i am exhausted and is it hard to stay logical.Especially when he is in pain, i am going to try and get some sleep.. maybe that will clear my head

Checking in for an update. Aimee, hope you are able to rest a bit. We're all sending positive thoughts that Jet'll pull thru & be okay.

Aimee- I will be thinking about you tonight.  I hope you got/get some rest.

Jettin, I am hoping that he is not ready and will pull through with as little trouble as possible. I know how things can be scary the second time around. You know what is right and when it is right. We all know how doing the right thing is sometimes the hardest decision to make. I hope the right thing here turns out to be you having to put up with him being a pain in the butt for awhile. You have got my prayers and thoughts going your way. I wish there was something else I could do. The only thing I can do is send you good wishes on the wings of some dragonfly's. I have your fly's and will send them to you as soon as I get a box that will fit them. I am hoping they do not end up being condolence gifts. You have my number and if you want to or need to, call me. I am a great listener. Your great to talk to anyway. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Your part of the group now girl. No way are we going to let you go through this alone (so to speak).
Thinking of you and Jet. 

today has been a big day of changes.. upheavals really.
my dearest Jet decided about 10 minutes ago to fight like a son of a bitch{which i heard his dam was!!}, he has passed a slimy gooey pile of mineral oil /manure.......the first since 7 am this morning... he is butting his head in my chest as if to say damn biiatttchh where is my feed?? he is more like my Jet than the zombie that invaded his body yesterday morning... at 9 pm tonight he will have hit the 24  hour mark.... after that if he crashes again, the vet will put him down...if he stays up, i have my Jet back...his breathing is easier and he is brighter in the eyes... he is throwing a tantrum since he is the only one not eating....
i feel like hell about that....i have hope for the first time in 2 days, if he can fight through this, i know we together will be unstoppable,, funny you mentioned the dragonflys HH.... while out with Jet this evening, even though we are having 30 - 45 mph wind gusts from some freaking hybrid tropical system today, a dragonfly landed on my hand...such a small insignifigant thing in the whole grand scheme of things, but for someone who has lived her life in a way that looks for signs......this was one i needed,, see... dragonflies signify magic, transformation, change and speed, hard to catch, harder to kill...i would love to think that the brand on Jet's butt .. now growing white hairs!...... and the brand on all my barrel horses butts gave them the same strengths of the dragonfly... i wear a necklace that has a dragonfly made of horseshoe nails... i will get pic of it, it is gorgeous...i got it at the fortune 5 show here in Tampa...as a show of my intent....
so now  that my head is on straight, i am looking for  a new vet after 18 years, i feel that  it is a time for a change there....nothing that was from Jet's ordeal, but just how my vet handled the whole ordeal....the this is how is is going to be.. my way or no way... owner opinion or wishes dont matter,
i am grateful to everyone of ya;ll for your prayers, hugs and best wishes, i am so blessed to have such wonderful sisters in my life in each and every one of you.....i am going to try to eat something.. my appetite is back since yesterday.... and relax  somewhat.. watch the weather... laugh at Jet's mooching for feed....
 I have my Jet back. and that is all that matters.

THANK YOU LORD!!!
Jet, I am so glad to hear he is not quite ready yet. I pray that he continues to improve. I thought about you and Jet all day and maybe the fact you have some dragonfly's of your own now will bring you some good luck.
BTW, my symbol is the Phoenix.
