awwwwww, Happy Birthday to you Java.....

Java, you are an absolutely gorgeous girl! You are a teen-ager now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many more to come.

Tell Mom that Uncle Ken thinks it's OK for you to go for some short, mellow walks starting in a few days. But, no chasing squirrels or any of that stuff until you get your stitches out and the surgeon gives you the green light.

Hi how is Java doing??? Hope all is going well for her!!! Sending thoughts love hugs and prayers!!!! xoxo

Java just had her first blood test after the surgery. I am astonished at how almost all of it is in the normal range now, at almost a month after her surgery. The most dramatic change is in the Alkaline Phosphatase, which has dropped by well over 1000.

ALB - 4.3 (High) 3.2 (Normal) 2.2 - 3.9
ALKP- 1740 (High) 251 (High) 23 - 212

Hi Roo,

What a beautiful lab report! :D:D:D I can just imagine how blown away you were to see the difference...and how relieved. Thanks so much for sharing this good news with us!
