You guys! I can’t believe it, she’s finally getting better!!!
I redid her wrappings tonight and she didn’t instantly re-inflate! I remember watching her visibly grow with every chirp when I’d drain the air before but I took her wrap off and left her to preen for a bit while I used the old wrap as a pattern for the new one, and when I was ready to deflate and rewrap her, she looked the same size as before!
She was so deflated that I needed to wrap her before draining the air so it would be pushed to one spot. The skin was too loose for the needle!
I’m so happy she’s getting better, I’m on the verge of tears trying to type this.
I’m going to keep wrapping her until I’m sure she doesn’t need it anymore but this is the first sign of any improvement so I don’t need to feel like she could suddenly crash anymore!
First picture of her in forever without inflation or a jumpsuit!
This is her wrap before it goes on. I think I’ll draw a diagram tomorrow to show how the whole thing works.
Thank you all so much. This is the only forum that I’ve reached out on that had people who consistently replied and tried to help. It looks like I was going in the right direction this whole time with her treatment but it has been a huge weight off my shoulders just knowing that people were here to help if I wasn’t.
