<DIV>Took Ben to the vet on Thursday and had them draw blood and check the
enzyme levels. The vet said that it looks like things are improving
slightly, so we will continue the bland diet. What is hard is that every
so often he gets nauseous, so we have to get a pill in him and watch
things more. I still need to coax him with chicken flavored water to
get it into him, but hopefully as he improves he will not need the
flavoring. I am taking him in next week to have the test sent out to
a lab to bet a quantitative measure for a base to better track progress in his
improvement. </DIV>

<DIV>As I have been concerned with Ben and his health, I must apologize for
being lax in posting drool for those needing it. I just want all to know
that I have been praying for all those needing it, and will do a better job in
the future. I appreciate all the drool and prayers that have
come Ben's way, and I know they are helping. </DIV>
