Franklin's Stem Cell Treatment

Went to visit with Franklin and our dear friend Carolyn at the vet's office. Franklin is in really good spirits. They have him in a pen in the main area where all of the vet techs and Dr. White are, so he can see what's going on and is in the thick of things, which he LOVES (curious/nosey). He is doing well w/the cathedar in and Dr. White is able to get him to urinate easily now, which is what he needs to be able to do. She spoke with a Specialist to ensure (and reassure herself) that's the right track to be on right now, and he said she is doing everything he would, and what's best (which I never once doubted). Being cautiously optimistic, he "may" get to come home on Tuesday...if all things continue as they are now. He was sitting on the floor with Carolyn (who drove all the way down from Cincinnati to see him) when I got there, and he was very happy to see DaMomma. I took him some carrots, which he woofed down while I clipped his toenails, and his favorite rabbit, which he started chewing on and grabbing for right away. I also took a pajama top that I've slept in the past couple of nights so he could have something with my scent on it for reassurance. When we slipped out, he was content w/his nyla bone and seems ok. It was nice visiting with him and finally meeting Carolyn (nice visit at lunch...we need to do that again when not so rushed). Hoping Franklin gets to come home soon, but am reassured he is fine and doesn't think I've abandoned him. The vet techs all were loving on him and said they didn't want to see him go yet. :-) Everybody loves Franklin, not Raymond...ha! Please continue to remember him in your prayers. I was reminded healing comes all in God's time, not our time. Since this was months in the making, it will take time to heal. We are just anxious to get him working those legs and building muscle. Dr. White DID say that Franklin took a step on his own when he was standing, and we stood him often during our visit...just going to take patience.
