I went to see Saiwe again. He's definitely improving, much brighter and alert than he was yesterday. He didn't really want to leave my hand, but he preened his feathers and stretched his wings a few times, and squawked at me when I touched under his wings. A couple times I hit a pin feather wrong and he took a nip at my fingers. That reassured me more than just about anything.

The results for the bacterial work should show up Tuesday or Wednesday; I'll be getting him back from the vet on Monday. The approval for the CareCredit card hasn't come through, though, so I'm going to try sending it through with a co-applicant attached. Hopefully that will work. If it doesn't... well, I'll manage.

More as it comes.
