Hi Deb and all! I appreciate the donations and the updates phred has been able to get cuz I haven't talked with Dr. Adams since Tues am and the impression I was left with is that they would need my approval for each test etc as it was being billed to my charge card. But apperently not! Which is ok! I would only be wanting to confer if he were in need of a serious procedure that may leave him in worse shape, cost several hundred dollars with a tiny rate of success and he was in pain as it is etc.. you know what I mean? But luckily (ha ha) it never came to that! I am assuming Louis is ok and hoping Lucky will continue to improve. However, I don't know how long Dusty's People can keep them and it looks like if things cont. to go well, Lucky may be discharged any day. So need homes and Jan and I need to do transport requests (hopefully tomorrow or saturday at latest) I have never dealt with transport stuff but there is a first time for everything! thanks again deb for your interest, your time, energy, love, donation, prayers, uh... love again... and just being you! (and others here too- you know who you are!)
