Hi everyone,

I talked to my Mom a lot since I have been gone - she went in to see the vet today and the vet took the feeding tube out!!! Joey has been eating on his own and he is walking straight and the vet said she couldn't believe how well his lungs have healed.....my Mom said he is barking and being a normal doggie!!! I cannot believe his progress. Thank you so much for your prayers, as always. Jeremy and I cannot wait to return home to hold Joey in our arms and to count our lucky stars and thank god for Joey's progress since the accident.

I will try to update you all in the next week from the cruise ship.

Love,

Alicia, Jeremy and Joey
