Hey guys, I thought I should do another quick update for anyone who might be wondering about Aleksey. I don't do a lot of journals so it's not in my nature and I apologize for waiting so long. Suffice it to say that if I had bad news I would've posted it.

Anyway, Aleksey's doing great! :) His staples have been out for over a week now and the incision is healing up very well. He's been on a completely normal diet for a couple of weeks now and is doing well with it. He and I have also gotten back to regular play time and regular activities, mostly at his urging. :) So he's come through wonderfully and I couldn't be happier. I think about what my life would be like without him and it would be so empty and lonely, so I'm incredibly thankful to the powers that be, and to my mother without whom I wouldn't have been able to pay the down payment on the surgery.

Anyway, thank you all for your thoughts and concerns, and sorry to have waited so long to put this up.
