Bianco's Update - June 26










First 2 pictures: Bianco feeling tired and bored

Next 2 pictures: His stitches were all taken off today as his wounds have already healed

Vidoe: Bianco trying to stand on all fours

Concordia called me this morning to inform me that they have been trying to stand Bianco on all fours. Although his hind legs has tighten a little, it is still weak.

The good thing is that he is able to be discharged this Saturday and come back home. They feel that he is getting bored at the hospital and is not making much progress if he continues staying. Therefore, they would rather he comes back home to us and would be more motivated to move more.

Dr Tan has spoken to a spine expert and both feels optimistic abt his condition.

They gave him a hydrotherapy this morning and hes still moving his front legs but not his hind.

We went to see him at night and he does look tired. Perhaps it was because of the hydrotherapy. Concordia thought that he was pretty quiet today, not much response from him till he saw us in the evening. She told me that today they suspended him on all fours for about 30mins. Perhaps that explains his tiredness....

However, we still make sure that he did some exercise with his legs, both front and hind.... just to try to strengthen them overtime. So with my bro's help, we tried to stand him again for about 3 times, each about 3 mins ... in 15mins frequency.....

We left when he was started dozing off.....

We will be seeing him early saturday morning to witness him doing hydrotherapy.. wil ltry to get some snap shots during his session.... ther are also many things to do in preparation for his coming back home. Therefore we will need to check with Dr Tan to see what he needs....

We cant wait for him to come back home.. .and I'll be taking leave to take care of him while his back.. and Dav will take care of him the next 2 wks... hopefully we'll be able to see more improvements during his time with us. I guess he would also need his weekly hydrotherapy..........
