Oh, that is great news about Newman, and the fact that his lymph nodes are clear is a huge bonus. I had a soft buster collar for Charlie, and it was so much nicer than the hard plastic to keep him from licking his sutures.
Everything is okay, Elaine and I had several breakdowns over Sophie, and another in front of the dental surgeon over Charlie. Not to worry, you love them and this is very stressful.
Bless you and your sweet kids. Warmly, Deborah
