Thanks also for the poignant reminder about organ donation - this story affirms my long ago made decision to be one.  Kitty boy Iggy, forever in our hearts...

  Re: Prayers Welcome Reply Contact  Well, he's really more himself now - he's getting mad that he can't come home yet...  He struggled up to a seated position this morning, on his own, and with help, got to the potty chair.  He's discouraged, but we keep cheering his small victories!

If he didn't care, I'd be concerned. With all of your positive reinforcement, he'll come along in no time :) ~ Cathy ~

  Re: Prayers Welcome Reply Contact  Doc has cleared him to go to rehab.  Still a long row to hoe, but moving in the right direction.  Thank you to everyone for the famous idog vibes!
