    Long day tomorrow as campinspecter is definitely being released from the hospital. Actually could have gotten out this afternoon but it is too far to go home. The dogs are going to go wild when they see him. Going to be hard to keep the excitement down for them. I have a separator between front and back seats that should help.

    Isn't that amazing, less than a week in hospital post surgery. He must be pretty eager to leave. Those hounds better not jump all over him! Maybe they will sense/smell that he is injured, and go easy on him.

    That's great news Woodwidow

    I'm sure he'll be much more comfortable and happy at home.

    Well when God answers prayers, he does in a big way. We left Victoria, picked up the dogs who behaved really good with Allan and then headed home. The hospital had faxed our prescriptions to Campbell River so we could pick them up right away and not have to wait for them. We made it to Campbell River in time to have Allan's hearing aids looked at because one wasn't working properly then we went to pick up the prescriptions. Two had been filled and the third one not. There was a bit of a delay while they contacted the hospital in Victoria. It got sorted out so we went and fueled up the car and started on the last of the journey. It has been hot (for us) and sunny all day and it is getting to 6:00 PM. Still three or more hours driving to go as we have to stop every hour so Allan can walk. 25 km or 15 miles north of Campbell River, we come to a lineup as there has just been a fatal crash and the road is going to be closed for hours. No detours. If the prescription had been ready, we could have been involved. We turned around and went back to get a room. Bonus was the room was discounted as we were considered "local". So we are safe, not quite home but everyone is doing well.

    You are so upbeat! I would have thought, if we weren't delayed at the pharmacy, we would've gotten past before it happened. Wise decision getting a room. They took dogs?

    Thanks everyone, i just received an email from his son, Dave had staples in his stomach and they were really bothering him. One day last week , some thing went really wrong and he was leaking from the inside out, his son rushed him to the hosp and they got it ''fixed''. Yesterday, Tues they removed the staples for good. Dave's feeling better his son just emailed me. Tomorrow, they go back to the Dr and see how much if any the cancer has grown. And, if things are better, they will give him some type of ''experimental medication'' to see if it will slow down, or turn the cancer around. Thanks again for the prayers, they are working, please continue.

    Yes they take dogs who got cookies when the dogs checked in. Usually it is just ground floor rooms and not that many are for pet owners but this place has every room available and we are on the fourth floor. The dogs don't get to ride in elevators that often.

    Right now they are curled up on the bed beside campinspecter waiting for their breakfast.

    Woodwidow thank you for the updates and I hope you got home okay today. I'm sure home will be a welcome sight to Allan.
