Mainly, his spine is only visable now because of his
weight loss. It's been about a week and a half now.
He's starting to eat and drink more, his feet are
coming up higher, like he wants to take his own steps.
I'm hoping, with the current progress, he'll begin to
use his legs within 2-3 days.
If I have the Xrays, will it change anything? She
said she would treat it the same way, whether we had
xrays or not. If the bloodwork came out okay, what
will the xrays tell?
Thank you for your electronic advise. I'm sure it
would be much easier to see Chip.
