i attempted to push the heart back inside the opening but it was a bit to tight. while trying to sew the opening closed, the way the heart was protruding from the hole the main artery was right at the edge of the opening and while trying to get some skin for the needle i nicked it, rupturing it.

at that point i stopped everything and placed it inside the freezer to end it. i feel a bit bad about it, but i think it was a no win situation. you let it be it dies...you do something to help it, it dies.

i think that this hatchling from the get go had a protruding heart where the skin grew around it to the point where it pinched it outside of the body. it wasn't the same type of prolapse that Baily had where it was more of a cut opening. this particular hole was clean opening to the inside, the skin was perfectly healed.

not feeling so good about it right now......but i did what i could do.......it is what it is.
