Hello to all,

Please see Monte's new attire, yellow for bone cancer, as I was able to visit him tonight in ICU for 30 minutes!

He has a little razor burn on his leg but IV has to come out before any type of cream/ ointment can be put on.  There is also an IV in his back leg so he's not quite sure how he needs to walk when he stands up.  Kind of like he's in a little pain everywhere.  He managed getting up to drink the raw goat milk I brought with me!  He loves it

Thank you for the t-shirt pictures!  Eurydice has been a sweet angel staying with Monte

Thank you all again for your support and encouragement!!

Hello to all,

Thank you all so much for being here!

Day two update:

I received a call from the Dr at 8:05 this morning with not the greatest prognoses I was hoping for.  Monte didn't want to get up or move during the night nor did he want to eat.  His left front leg was swollen due to laying on it and not wanting to move and his incision was still oozing.  So we set up my visitation time for 11:30.  In the meantime I prayed and knew Eurydice would stay close to Monte!

I showed up, more food in hand and plenty of raw goat milk.  I also took the harness.  Instead of visiting with him in ICU, they brought him into a room.  This worked out well because we weren't in the way of anybody and I was able to spend more time with him!  He's still not comfortable standing on three legs.  I'm saying he still has sea legs...trying to stand up and his feet just slide out wherever.  So we sit on the floor, he begins to drink his milk and shows no interest in anything else.  No problem.  Then all of a sudden he throws up.  I didn't panic because I've gotten used to things not settling with his stomach.  A sigh of relief though because the bandage pieces I thought he'd swallowed Tuesday were part of what came up.  The Dr. though was concerned because that could be a whole other issue and surgery and complications.  We finally agreed to go with an x-ray.  The x-ray was ok.  That being said they wanted to keep him for  another 24 hour observation.  I was ok with that.  I noticed he seemed a little more alert when he came back from x-ray.  I would too if my stomach was feeling better!  (we were able to listen to a little bit of music from my phone and he seemed to like that :))

We will see how tonight's visit goes.  Please keep us in your prayers 

Elizabeth and Monte
