update

I just wanted to quickly let you all know that Daylon was able to leave the hospital. Yay! He's still not acting like himself but he has moments throughout the day where he'll take interest in a toy or maybe even smile. I'm hoping that we'll start to see an even bigger improvement in the coming days. He's FINALLY able to open his eyes again for a few moments at a time. Now that I can actually see it, his eyeball isn't in the best shape....well, it hasn't been for the last year, but it's really a mess right now. As far as feeding, he's back down again and I think he's lost more weight. Yesterday, I broke his kidney diet and gave him a few bites of a milkshake. I promised shakes to the kids when we came back from our hike and he just sat there in his chair staring at me with puppy dog eyes. I caved. I was so happy to have him eat calories, I figured the extra protein would be worth it.  I've gotta run. We've got Spring Break (Woo-hoo!) going on here with the kids. More later....
