June 10, 2005 Update by Tina:

I am excited to report that Dexter looks really good. We sedated him today and barely had to cut away any dead skin. There was no infection (pus or discharge) what so ever, all healthy tissue. The wound is closing well and healing better than we expected. It is probably 25% smaller than when you dropped him off last Friday and all the visible muscle sections are covered. It's now a little bigger than a silver dollar. He's doing really well, I think given that you haven't seen him in a week you would be surprised at how good it looks. A couple more weeks of oral antibiotics and he should be all well. His foot still looks bad though. I guess one step at a time.

I hope this news makes you feel as good as it makes me feel.
