Teddy update --
The vet was very pleased with his appearance last night. He's much livelier, he's gained weight, and his coat looked better. But the vet wasn't going to be too optimistic until the results of the blood work came in.
The results are in. Creatine down by about a third -- still a little high, but not much over the normal range. Calcium down. Unfortunately, red blood cells down (even a little anemic), but that's a normal side effect of all the fluids he's getting.
So for the next week or so, Teddy only goes in for fluids every other day.
It's an excellent demonstration of their non-attachment if they weren't bothered by the toddler dancing on their partilally completed sand mandala. Practically a koan.
I think Buddhists wouldn't mind a child being so delighted by the beauty of it that he was inspired to dance with the mandala.
...Lama Chuck? Chuck the Tibetan monk? Is anyone anyone else have a Gospel-According-to-Biff moment?
Yay Teddy!
Connie, I agree.
It is a good day for flying - Virgin America just got approved. Cheaper SFO-NYC flights coming soon!
