So, are you going to go out and visit him?

Boy, I would love to, for a host of reasons, to see him, of course, and to escape this OH weather. But w/Puddy in such an iffy state of health, I'm afraid to chance it. She's back on daily subQ's and my cat sitter begged me not to make her do that. Plus her father is dying of pancreatic cancer and isn't expected to live much longer, so I'd only ask her to cat sit if I had an emergency. I even considered putting Puddy in the vet hospital so she could get her treatments but my vet feels it would stress her too much. Soooo, I guess I wait until he can come home for a visit. He usually comes in April for my birthday or May for his or Mothers' Day, so I don't have too much longer to wait.

I am so glad to read this great report on your son. Goodness, what a frightening experience for both of you.

HUGS. I was thinking of Glenn today when you posted that story about him when he was little - and Elyse beat me to it.

Glad to hear he is almost 100%.

You might want to tell him that he is growing BRAND NEW muscles!

Great news!

Wonderful news! I'm so glad he's doing so much better. Best wishes to him with the checkup.

Love, hugs, and purrs,
Pat and cats

Glad to see he is doing so much better - long may it continue!

I spoke to my son a little while ago and he said that his checkup went ok. They still don't like how his reflexes in his legs are responding and when they asked him to follow the pen light w/his eyes, his right eye had problems. He told them that he worked late last night and only got 5 hours of sleep and that he was tired, so they said "Ok, we'll note that and not worry about it and we'll check it again when you come back". He goes in again on the 19th for the EMG and more blood tests. He said "Yeah, great. The bruises on my arm are finally gone so that I don't look like a heroin addict any more from all the blood work. Now I'll get bruised again". But considering how sick he was, he really isn't complaining. So, I guess we'll know more on the 19th. Thanx for asking about him, everyone.
