Eight lives to go
After a heartbreaking week, Charlie is coming home tomorrow. His blood tests are returning to normal levels, he's off the IV, eating on his own (with a vengeance, according to the vet), and acting very much like himself — though perhaps a little shaken up by the whole experience, which I'm sure will pass. His diet will have to change a bit, and we'll have to keep a closer eye on him and his health than before. But overall, we've caught things early enough to do something about it... and that's good.
