The sugar glider community really is the most awesome community ever!
Gina is meeting up with Lynn (tngliderlover) today at 3:00. Lynn will keep my little Nugget with her in Nashville tonight and then she and her husband will drive him to Tulsa on Monday. Monday night, Anita (sweetgliders) will pick him up from them, and she is going to take excellent care of the little one until I can get there (which probably won't be til Friday ). I will take him to the vet on Friday and get x-rays and see what is going on.
I am so anxious! I would have driven all the way to TN to get him myself if Jackie was well. Don't want to travel much with Jackie Chan yet until he has had some time to heal (he does stress out quite a bit with all the travel).
I'll update you as soon as I know more.

Oh gosh Val! He will have lots of traveling for sure. Is there anyone who can get him to a vet in the meantime? He should have gone a long time ago.
I'll be so glad once he's finally home with you!!

Hi, When I meet up with Lynn on Monday Night I will access little Nugget condition & if he is in dyer need he will go to the vet Tuesday morning as soon as they open. Val & I have already discussed this. He will get medical treatment ASAP. Keep all your prayers heading in nuggets direction so we can get him on the right track.
Anita, you have 3 SM tunnels, 2 hammocks, and 3 collars on their way to you. The rest will follow. Hopefully they get there quick enough (I sent them Express, but our post office is known for messing up-and it was Saturday)

I am so anxious to have him here with me! BUT, I can't tell you how much better I feel having him in capable, knowledgeable hands.
Nugget had a relatively good night. He sounds a lot like little Jackie was when I first got him. Poor thing acted like he had never seen a mealie before, but once Lynn was able to get him started on them, he was obsessed.
Just like Jackie nitially, he is not able to groom himself too well. I had almost forgotten the days of cleaning Jackie up each day. Nugget will be neutered as soon as he is well enough, and then I will get him introduced to a cage that can help him out in this area.... Maybe, just maybe, Sassy will allow him into the cage with her and Jackie Chan. She is an obsessive groomer of Jackie (which is probably how that wound of his stayed free of infection for so long). Not to worry -- Nugget will be well taken care of -- and maybe a bit spoiled. MAYBE.
Anita - you are an angel and my life has been deeply enriched by having you around so much lately. I can't wait to hear from you once you lay eyes on my baby!

Nugget is now safely with Anita. Though, both she and Lynn have laid claim to him, so I might have a hard time getting him from her!
Anita says (correct me if I am wrong, Anita) that you can see where the injury is in his back. Seems to be lower on the spine than Jackie's. He has no feeling or movement in his back legs or feet, but seems to have some feeling in his tail. So, there is hope here. Anita says that he is clearly in no pain and is as precious as they come!

I just talked with Anita - and she tells me I better bring my boxing gloves if I think I am getting Nugget from her. So, I pulled out the gloves and dusted them off. They are already packed for the trip to Tulsa!!!
Nugget is currently at work with Anita - she is spoiling him already. "He is a lover" she says.
Anita is relatively sure that he is not as severely impaired as Jackie Chan. AND, because the extent of the injury seems more severe on the right than the left, there is the possibility that we can reduce swelling and he will have a good return of function. We will know much more after his x-rays.
So, my worry now is NO LONGER about getting him into good loving hands. Now I just have to worry about getting him from Anita!

Val, it sounds like you better take some Karate Lessons before you get there That Anita---you just can't help but love her to pieces! She's a true glider angel!....Keep us posted and many prayers
Awwwww what a precious little one. I am so glad he found his way to you Val!! You are so awesome!! Thanks to all that are helping Nugget to get to Val. Anita, you truly are an angel!!
I hope to hear of his progress and vet reports. This little one looks like he has some stunted growth on his back end...maybe just the picture though. I hope he is up and running in no time and if not, I can't think of any better hands for him to be in!

I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears.
Hey Guy's, Just a small update on Nugget. Upon the arrival of Nugget had no movement in his backside from just above his pelvic area down. I just sent Val a short email. As of last night Nugget had movement in his left leg & foot he is now able to grip the side of the cage with it alittle bit.
Today OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY..... We have more progress. Nugget is starting to have some movement in his right foot. He curls it up just a tad bit not much, but it's moving and that's more than we have had since he's been here. Val will be here tomorrow and I know she is just dancing around and biting at the bits to get here.
Yes, Nugget is a lover boy and you just can't help but to fall in love with him. I have pictures of this sweet little boy and I will post tonight when I get home from work.
I also told Val she better bring her boxing gloves because it's going to be very hard to let him go, he has captured my heart and I even had to fight Lynn for him she had a hard time letting go too.
But we both know he will be in excellent hands with his new momma Val, besides we are still his godmothers so we have visitation & claiming rights.
The Power of Prayer works miracles if you just put your trust in the man above.
Val has Nugget in hand and she fell madly in love with him. good for her bad for me They are at the vet's office right now and she will call me when the examination is over. I will post as soon as we now something. Keep your prayers coming, we'll know something soon.
Prayers and more prayers going out for little Nugget. What a sweet little guy he is and it sounds like all that come in contact with him fall hard for this little one!! Hey, the more love, the better! Please keep us posted.
