Saturday Part Four - Eventide

Byron is much better this evening.  His pain has abated considerably and he is now awake more. He's been awake since about 5 pm consistently.  He ate 1/2 of a milkshake and one chicken nugget  - yay!!

Just now he was remembering a picture he saw this evening of his brother's dog Penny and I saw him genuinely smile for the first time.  This is the picture he was remembering.



One of the things they told us to expect was a big fever.  But as Byron is breaking all the "rules",  he has only had a fever of 99.5 which is perfectly ok.

He is also able to push himself up in bed using both of his legs.  I am confident that when they get him up tomorrow he will walk just fine - fingers crossed!

  1. All of this is such good news! He's so lucky to have you and Bob as parents watching out for his best interests – that weekend medical staff seems a little lax... thank you for sharing the video, and think Byron for allowing you to. He looks really good and strong in it. Much love

  4. And all the love in the world to you both and Byron. And special kisses from other doggy friends named Tessa and Priya also rooting for Byron. We can send pictures of Tessa and Priya too if we can figure out how to.
