Day 13 - Part 2

According to a few folks that saw Bink at the beginning of all of this, he looks fantastic. It really amazing what modern science and fabulous care can do for a person.  He really looks like himself, just a little pinker and a scalier.  Reflecting on the fact that you could not tell it was his two weeks ago to seeing him today is fascinating.

His sutures were removed from his wrist today.  That brightened up his day a tad.  I think for him it was some visible progress.  Because he does not remember/know how he looked when he started a last week, he doesn't see the change that those of us looking at him do.

Indications today were that had he not still been fighting this respiratory infection, he probably would already be at home right now.  Hearing that makes us both even more anxious to get home, but we have to be patient because he really is receiving amazing care.  

I think that the target date for escape is looking more and more like Monday.  The escape will actually be to our house amazingly enough.  I have been provided with tutorials on caring for his wounds so he will be in kind of okay hands.  His BioBrain really is like a scab that dries out as it heals and you cut off the edges as they become unattached.  I love picking at things, so this should be fun!

Take care everyone.
