Darn Fish Tank

So we have officially moved our room outside to the fish tank. We can tell that he has been in a hospital for a couple of days because the muscles in his legs have really tightened up. We'll need to get him in the stander and have his brace on at night for a couple of weeks.

They did a couple of X-rays to look closer at his lungs and we don't have those results yet. His WBC is normal, his inflammation has gone down a ton, and his hemoglobin has gone back up. Those are all great signs. Since we have taken him off the antibiotic we plan to stay another night to make sure a fever does not spike up. If we went home and he had a fever we would have to come right back here anyways. He he does spike a fever they'll sedate Mace and do an esophageal echo and a cat scan of his whole body to look for hiding pockets of bacteria or viruses. If he is sadated they'll do an MRI at the same time.

Thats all for now, I hope know one from my insurance company is reading this. If so i'm sure their blood pressure is going up. :)
