I have an update from Foster Mom and this poor little guy is probably so confused right now. He's been doing so well with his physical recovery and his emotional progress has been phenominal .... he just soaks all the TLC up! I'm sure he's wondering why in the world he is in pain. I can only imagine the pain his FM is feeling also ... he has a very special place in her heart! This is what she wrote:

"Trooper came home last night. His jaw has four wires holding it together. His face is very swollen. His stools are very loose. He was pretty groggy last night so he spent the evening next to me on the couch asleep in his bed, then spent the night in his x-pen. He still hasn't eaten and it's important that I get something into him. He is only able to eat gruel so I will be picking up some broth shortly for him. His mouth is bleeding some and the poor guy looks absolutely dreadful. I put him in my bed early this morning wrapped in a blanket because he was shaking. I think the shaking was pain or fear, or both. I don't think he was cold."

Please keep this sweet baby in your prayers and his FM as well. God bless you all for caring.
