Oh good, le. When I was reading your message I was getting a

little worried there that Coby was going to have that pain for a

while. I am so glad you got some medication to help him feel a

little better. That had to have been awful for him and for you to

have to watch him be in so much pain. I know you wanted so badly to

make him feel better. But, I am happy things are looking better

right now. Hopefully things have turned around and he will be on the

road to recovery and won't need the medication at all soon.

Thanks for the update. You take care and I hope your Thanksgiving

was great.
