Bogey Update

Hello Class, Well, you've all cared so much about Bogey, I thought I would give you an update. After school on Friday I went and visited Bogey at the Vet Hospital - which is a wonderful, caring place. Bogey was a little better, but still on an IV (intravenous - fluids given to him through tubes). He was feeling a little better and the Doctor said he was improving, but they were still worried about him and wanted to keep him another night. I was disappointed, but knew he was in good hands. On Saturday, he improved in some areas, but went a bit downhill in others. Still, by Saturday night,they let him come home with me. He was off the IV, keeping his food down, and missing home. So, I brought him home and he curled up by me and stayed that way except when I had to give him his medication - 14 pills! The good news is that he has steadily improved. He's eating some now, he wags his tail and is walking around the house, and has even gone into the back yard with me. He's looking more and more like himself. He saw the vet again today and she said his blood count numbers are still improving and they're pretty happy with him! He still has a ways to go and isn't completely out of the woods yet, but I'm so happy to report that at this point he is recovering. It must have been all of your crossed fingers! Thank you, students and parents, for all your caring thoughts. On another note, the beginning of the year cold syndrome has caught up with me, and I am sneezing and snorfelling tonight. I don't want to spread my germs and I have to say I'm feeling pretty crummy, so, Bogey and I are going to curl up tomorrow and get better together. You will have a TOC - band students remember that you're in band all morning after advisory, and Mini X students, you will have a fun morning too. You have your first math lesson in fourth block with Ms. Hendra. Remember to bring your form for the Symphony field trip back on Wednesday if you haven't already. I will for sure be back for that, wouldn't miss it! Have a really great Tuesday everyone.
