    @beaker: shoot, girl- you have earned as many "woe is me" moments as you like after the roller coaster you guys have been on! I'm so happy to hear he's doing well! Hoping that you guys will be able to ring in 2014 with a healthy and happy kiddo! Thank goodness for modern medicine! And thanks for the photos, he is adorableness

    @beaker: cutie pie! That's so good to hear! How long should recovery be after the next surgery?

    @Espion: he is really great at making friends with the nurses to be sure he gets picked up and played with a lot! He also has a very expressive frown (which DS1 did too, hence the nickname beaker face and my username) which drives them all crazy.

    @Mrs Green Grass: "it depends" ... I wish I had a dollar for every time they said that! But really hopefully not too long. The section of intestines they removed is relatively small and far down, which they said should make it easier to begin working again since the food will be more digested by the time it gets there.

    @lemondrop: I LOL'd at "shoot, girl" because I'm imagining you with an awesome accent

    @beaker: well, my first reaction was "shit, girl" but I'm really trying to reign in the potty mouth since we are starting our cuss jar in 3 weeks when C turns 2 years old I'm going to be so broke!

    lol- Just imagine a western drawl, cause we all talk like cowboys here... yeah, right- I wish!

    @beaker: He is beautiful. I can't figure out if he's cuter smiling or with his "beaker" pout.

    @shinymama: me neither

    @lemondrop: he's doing good with food so far! He's only getting 1ml/hour, and then after five days of that they'll increase it. In other good news the nurses haven't suctioned him out in three days, which means he's swallowing his own spit, which is promising for him starting oral feedings! An OT is going to work with him and hopefully he'll pass his next swallow study.

    @sorrycharlie: @lilteacherbee: @Bookish: @mrsbookworm: @Anagram: @T.H.O.U.: thank you I'm sure if he met you he'd con you into picking him up for a while!
