Joey

Our little man is home. He has a feeding tube and bandages and has lost lots of weight.
He's not back to normal, nor would I consider him "better," but if Dr. Bonnie said it was ok for him to come home, then I believe her. She said he was grooming himself and being a little frisky and was doing much better than before.
He's still slow moving and sometimes sits in an uncomfortable looking crouch, but other times he sprawls out or curls up in our laps. We have to feed him through the tube every 4-6 hours.
I never knew that animals could become anorexic. =(

In related news, my mom is still in the hospital. She passed out when her blood sugar level dropped to 40. Luckily my dad was there and he was able to get the nurses. She was all dressed and ready for discharge. So now she is not in for her leg, but to stabilize her blood sugar. They took blood at 2pm yesterday afternoon to run further tests, and it can take anywhere from 24-48 hours to get results, so I am not confident that she is coming home today either, perhaps tomorrow though.
