Gone Swimmin'

In one of my earlier posts, I explained the troubles we've been having with Ova's health. Well, after switching medications several times the doctor's finally prescribed something that has been helping. He's now taking an anti-inflamatory steroid and he's finally able to walk around the house with his crutches.
