ed was in the hospital but is back at nursing home

I feel like I jinxed Ed - I posted my optimistic news on July 7, and on July 9 he went into the ICU!

The PICC line in his arm became infected and the infection quickly spread, so he was a very sick puppy for a number of days. He did eventually get the upper hand on the infections and was transferred to a regular ward, then back to the nursing home on July 16. He finished the IV antibiotics last Wednesday, July 28, so we're hoping that he continues to do okay.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

ed is staying infection-free

Ed finished up his antibiotics on May 22. Since then, he has been doing a great job of staying infection-free and keeping his temperature normal. I think it could be a record. We are very grateful!

He's still at Orchard Park nursing home.
