Yeah.
That is a good one, Kathy.
(Scary, too!)
Mahalo.
As for our (outrageously cool) young neighbor? Though not out of the woods by any means, there's finally some good news to report. He's beginning to speak again (...as opposed to his having been "unresponsive," and his having to have excess fluid drained from his brain). Plus he's able to sit up.
He's scheduled for more dialysis, and more time in the hospital to build up his strength, begin walking again, etc, however! ....thanks to the thousands of collective cerebral/celestial tugs on his behalf over the course of the last week...and the marvels of modern medicine of course...things are definitely looking up.
Sincere thanks, once again, to all for your concern.
Y'know, as Glen said earlier, there's a lesson here for all of us, I'm sure.
We need to first of all to be aware of the deadly microscopic dangers out there in the "beautiful clear blue water." If we've got even the teensiest of bites/scratches/cuts/whatever, we need to forgo the urge to immerse ourselves in the septic soup 'til they've completely healed. And we need to clean up our act.
Once again, sorry for the detour to your thread, Rob. Back to the "Best solutions..." for Champagne Pond.
