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.

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

Dear Roo,

I am so happy for you and your precious Java. Nice to hear good news here. BTW, I love your profile pic of Java, and would love to see some more if you had the time to upload. I just love labs.

Hi Roo,

What a beautiful lab report! 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!
