You are all so wonderful. I'm feeling a little better tonight and have been given so many wonderful suggestions and good wishes; it is overwhelming.</DIV>

<DIV>Bo is a tad better, I think, though still suffering mightily. He ate a couple of bites of food tonight for the first time in two days, and is not screaming, so I am taking that as progress. We'll see how it continues to go--at least things are moving in the right direction. (That sounds bad--a lot has been moving inside him in one direction for sure); but I mean to say I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel which is not an oncoming freight train.</DIV>

<DIV>Thank you all again. Val, Bo, and Harley</DIV><!-- cg11.c2.mail.re1.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Tue Dec 15 12:15:57 PST 2009 --></div><br>
