[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476838, member: 12886"] [SIZE=2]1. Got my purse back! Everything is inside, all is good in that area of life...whew. 2. No labs yet, dont know if he is coming home or not tomorrow but that is the plan. They are usually back in one day so they should be there early tomorrow morning. He still thinks difficult child can go home because we can adjust it at home now that he is more like his normal difficult child self. 3. difficult child forced my hand.
