Aww, thank you! :) That's so what I was going for.
And since this is just a "highlight reel" for a more involved story that continues on for quite a while after this, in which I'll probably be jumping back and forth a lot when I post snippets of it on here, I suppose this doesn't exactly count as a spoiler: They do eventually reunite! And Milo is okay. Kind of. He's not like, okay-okay, but he's okay enough that a new okay can be reached, which is actually pretty damn okay, taking everything into account. It's kind of a "you're in pretty good shape, for the shape that you're in" situation. :P (Meaning, he gets out with moderate bronchiectasis in his 1.5 remaining lungs and short about a foot of colon, but generally lives a happy, active, and relatively normal life.)
