thanks for your interest everyone :happy: there's not really much to report - we're both just plodding on taking it day by day. louis is such a good boy - he doesn't make any fuss at all. he clearly wants to go out but doesn't make a nuisance of himself. he's tolerating the tube and he's eating all his food. it's heartbreaking being cruel to be kind - he asks for something different but i have to force myself to walk away. then he gives up and eats his biscuits. i so hate doing it but i have to
