Three Big Things Before the First Birthday

I'm posting three pictures; two are designed to take the sting of panic off of the third. That last picture is not for the short gut parent who is faint of heart. Buyer beware.

Practicing standing, two bottom teeth, and a spliced line. That last addition was something we were expecting at some point. I guess that point was yesterday. As luck would have it, the surgeon who is applying for Omegaven here at Bronson was the one to splice Bo's line. And the leak the original sprung was really really tiny. And it all happened during the window when he's off his TPN. Not that we ever enjoy a trip to the ED, but we had Nurse Colleen with us and all the other fortunate things mentioned above. Bo was even good enough for a bit of a nap while we waited for the surgeon. And now I have both his cell and home #'s. He and Puder trained under the same guy; needless to say, they both believe in a level of medical practice I like to call Real Medicine. Thanks, Doc!
