Cat, with bandage, in car

This is Bruce, bandaged up and on his way back to our place after six nights in the hospital.

Yesterday morning, Clara and I made the decision to put him to sleep, all things considered- but when we visited him, he clearly wasn't ready for that. So, he's now back with us, very tentatively on the mend, and we've got an intense routine of meds to follow over the next several days (including setting him up with an IV for fluids once a day).

What a Christmas miracle.

Bruce, Clara, and I are grateful for everyone's thoughts and prayers.
