Subject: Scooter update

Well, Steve and I are exhausted, but Scooter is past his worst. It
appears that he either had a nasty infection on top of his IBD, or
his IBD worsened. His is a bad case, anyway.

Today the poor little guy blew his bum -- bad prolapse so had to
have a couple of purse-string stitches. You know something
really hurts when having long-term stitches in a tender spot
improve that individual's comfort. He was very grateful and kissy
for that.

Meanwhile, more adjustments to his meds are being made after
a number of months of pretty good results.

He does like that he is getting to sleep in our shirts a lot and he
loves his lamb baby food, fortuneately. He'll be on baby food for
a while during the early days of the stitches.
