Russell Report

Russell is hanging in there.  He seems to be about the same today.  After an x-ray of his chest, we have found that he is retaining some fluid on his lungs, so we have put him on a diuretic.  His appetite is not voracious, but he still nibbles,secretly.  He ate some cheese with a little bit of vigor.  His wounds continue to drain and he has a terrible odor, but it is getting better.  Our hopes are still high for him, but he is not out of the woods just yet. All we ask for is a little improvement each day.
