I went and saw that Critter this afternoon and you could tell he wasn't feeling very well. Yesterday he got a second transfusion after the progress he made after the first one diminished. His white blood cell count fell, his red blood cell count fell, as did his platelets. Now it's a matter of wait-and-see and hope this latest transfusion will make a difference.

I hope that all of you had a pleasant Christmas Day with your loved ones.

Thank you for your prayers and for your kinds thoughts about the Critter. I still haven't given up hope, so we continue to pray.

God bless all of you, and I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a blessed and peaceful New Year's.
