I hope I will get some more figures tonight and if I do I will update the total  ;D

Please note that Mikeys Wheelchair Fund will close at midnight on Sunday 2 May 2010, which hopefully will give enough time for any remaining donations to come in.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and those about too  :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

We're really pleased over at CC to see how well Mikey's fund is going, well done to everyone who is supporting this!  That little fella deserves all our help and good wishes, what a little soldier eh?
I've just prodded the folks into action, and they've just added a bit more to the pot - looking forward to the next update on the total.
Love from all at CC to Mikey & Heather!

Also wanted to add that we do a weekly run ( sometimes more than weekly) into Makro if you want me to either collect some OR let you know if they are on special offer. No problem at all. Wonder if its worth seeing how much it is for a large amount, depends if you have storage heather? say a garage? or spare room?  8)

occasionally they have the puppy pads on offer - the last box I bought was £10.99 plus vat rather than the usual £14.99

Yes thats interesting Mark...I never thought of that...perhaps it could have something to do with it....there's definately something thats causing the change..I knew it had been better this week but didn't really realise HOW much better until I did the bins and realised how much less waste i.e. puppy pads there has been. Its really quite noticeable!

He's definately not gaining any control though unfortunately as he still doesn't realise he's done it until he smells it...still, little improvements are definately better than no improvements and all of these little things are making a BIG difference to both of us  :)

That's great  :) Maybe his colon isn't putting pressure on his bladder which would probably make him more comfortable  :)

It's too early to consider that he may be gaining some control - but you never know.

Great pics Shirley!!

Sharon - Many thanks for the offer... I have actually got a Makro card just don't go very often so hadn't really thought of looking there for them.....I have actually just bought 2 new boxes from the wholesalers and am about 1/2 way through the existing box so I have 250 to get through before I will need anymore at the moment. If you wouldn't mind checking the prices for me next time you are in there though and pm'ing me that would be great.....are you sure they are boxes of 100 for that price though as that seems very cheap. I have done quite a bit of shopping around and really did think my wholesalers price was the best I was going to get?

Anyway, the ones I buy are by Simple Solution, 55cm x 57cm, and in a box of 100 pads....so it would be great to do a direct comparison. If they are pretty much like for like and much cheaper I can stock up from there next time!

I am quite amazed actually at how few I have had to use (in comparison) since changing his diet....it was even more apparent when I put the bins out last night. I have a green bin in the back garden which I use for all Mikey's waste...and normally its been pretty full by the end of a week. Last night I pulled it out and it wasn't even half full!! Would a raw diet mean that he would wee less too?? Since he's been on raw its the only time I've actually seen him drink form his water bowl (not saying he didn't before...I just never saw him).....if its not the raw diet then something is definately changing with his bladder control....which could be a good sign? At first it seemed like he was 'leaking' most of the time and was wet fairly constantly....more recently it would appear his bladder is filling up and then emptying.....and he's nice and dry for longer periods of time  :)
