Tim is doing quite a bit better these past few days. His neck burns are finally healing, and that's what's been causing him the most grief. He still doesn't have any appetite at all though. Like Zero. And that depresses him somewhat. We both know that we have to be patient for a while longer. He just wants to start feeling "normal" again. But the severe depression has, thankfully, passed!
