Would you believe that the day after Bobby got bitten, another baby snake crossed Sarah's path on the way to her car. Sam and his friend managed to kill the snake, chopping it into three parts. When the Machinist and I arrived home from having the Machinist's wound dressed, the head of the snake had 'travelled' about 600mm away from the very place Sam had left it.
Shudder...
Snakes. Horrible things...
Bobby is getting better each day, albeit slowly. He still can't stand up, but he's eating three meals a day now, with orally syringed water every one and a half hours. His nose is wet. He wags his tail. His bulging eyes have returned to normal, and although there is still discharge coming out of them, he doesn't have that 'far away' stare. This evening, when the Machinist was spoon feeding him his beef & vegetables, some of the food fell on the Machinist's hand, and Bobby eagerly stretched his neck, making sure he got all the morsels - just like a dust-buster.
This is very encouraging for the Machinist. "Babe, do you realise that the hand with my wounded finger, is the same hand that holds Bob's head so he can eat and get stronger?"

Strength to strength ~ bonding and healing between two old friends. Glad to hear Bob is doing so much better and hope your DH's finger is healing nicely also.
