Thanks Nanci. I'm trying my best to handle all of this but you are correct it is very stressful. I decided maybe a short ride would help this evening and I ended up in a very brief but nasty verbal exchange with some jerk in a pickup truck. I know better and typically smile and think nasty thoughts when I encounter jerks like this guy on my rides. Tonight, however, my tongue broke loose and he caught an earful.

All I can do now is simply wait and see if Max makes a positive turn around. He has a friend across the street, Sarah, who is in the second grade. Sarah often comes over to visit with Max and I'm dreading having to break this news to her. I need to tell her but not tonight.
