Thank you all so much. My son, Brandon, is doing remarkably well. We've been allowed home today.

He's on a great many pain killers still and his mood swings are rather unpleasant and stressful but to be expected after having brain surgery.
Sadly all my bettas have been down in the dumps with me gone and the house in stress mode with my father and daughter here. Mystery abandoned the nest by the looks of it and there's no fry to be seen.
When I came in and spoke to them all one by one they were all looking droopy and miserable. Heard my voice and immediately perked up.

They're all acting much happier this evening and being more like their old selves. Bless 'em.

Missed their Mummy.
I shall try the pair for a spawn at the beginning of May again as I am away several times in April, albeit only for short periods of time. And Brandon has to go back at the end of April too. So once all the absences and hospital trips are done with I shall try for the pair to spawn, hopefully in a stress free and happier enviroment. Both Teelie and Mystery are in good health. As are all the bettas. Did lose a platie to Dropsy which I had thankfully seperated before I left. I had to put him to sleep today on my return.

My oldest boy too. *sigh*
Anyways, thanks again for your kind messages. I doubt I'll be around all that much just yet as both Brandon and Kacey need alot of attention from me right now.
Hugs,
P.
