    Hey TOM! He's doing better, still on the methadone for another 2-3 weeks (and he's 3 weeks old already). Gained 1# 2 1/2oz so far, and is eating well. My son is doing all the right things, methodically and after giving much thought, taking advice from professionals. Will try to post a photo of him; he's kinda cute! (Thank you for asking)

    your on to him Tommyh,,  he was one of the greatest.................................................................

    I have been on to him for about 50 years Terry.

    THE STREETS OF LAREDO! Sad, pretty ballad that always chokes me up. Beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly.   Carry on Tommy
