Update on JR

Well, mom came down from portland today so she could pick some things up for her and JR, and we went shopping and picked up dog food on other such things. She gave me some money for college (I gotta eat too ya know ), so I am good there. When it comes to rides, I am doing good, I think I am going to ask Barbie if she can pick me up for class next week, I know Tanya needs the break and I know it is hard on her having to come out all the way to my appartment (we live outside city limits) and then go and drop of Derek and after that come back so she can come to class. I am so thankfull that I have such wonderful and caring neightbors and friends, I dont know what we would do without them. But anyways, back to JR. He is doing better, they took his catheter out, so he can go to the bathroom on his own. His incision is still open, so that way they can monitor it and make sure there is no chance of infection. He had a couple of bowel movements, and there was no blood, so that is extremely good right there. He didnt have pancreitis like we thought he did, thats a relief. And we found out what caused that section of lower intestine to start dying. He was born with that perforation in that section, and that it just took this long to start dying. Go figure huh? I mean, how weird is that? But, he is doing better overall. He had a fever when mom left, but they had just taken the catheter out and changed his badages. We are hoping that he and mom will be back sometime next week, mom and I are figuring it'll be about maybe 4 more days. Cross your fingers ot pray for us!
