Making progress

Jackson's biggest threat now is infection. He is still on oxygen but they are slowly weening him off (from 40% to 20%) to see if he can handle the natural environment. He will have to be observed overnight but it is very possible that he will come home tomorrow. He's pretty lethargic, probably from the meds, not to mention the trauma, but he's cheerful. He has 2 IVs and is confined to a pretty small space. He has issues with claustrophobia (unless he just hates me mauling him) so he can't be too thrilled. The wonderful doctors and staff at City of Angels Veterinary Critical Care in Culver City have really been amazing.
