If I don’t write now,

If I don’t write now, I won’t be able to get it in, I fear, due to being so insanely busy. Update on Amy: She’s doing very well after the surgery. The c-sec itself went without a hitch. The baby however… He came out blue. So he is now in the NICU. They’re giving him oxyden for his lungs (a little immature), and their draining fluid from his stomach, as well as giving him iv antibiotics, since pneumonia from the fluid in his lungs is a possibility. Amy hasn’t even gotten to hold him. Nor has she seen him past the brief hold up of him by the doctor in the surgery. If she’s able to get up and into a wheelchair today, she’ll go see him. I visited last night, and talked to her, and then I scrubbed up to check on the little man. He is SUCH a pretty baby – who vociferously objected to having his butt wiped. Amy will probably come home Saturday. The baby, maybe later, they just don’t know at this point. Congratulations Amy & Dana! Andrew Paul December 7, 2005 8:16am 6lbs, 11oz 18 1/2 inches Update on Bandit: Already a little friskier. He has to stay in the bathroom at least until Sat or Sunday. Then, he may be able to come out to a few rooms – in other words closing off the bathroom and bedrooms, and just letting him have run of the living room, kitchen, and utility room (litter room). We’d close off the kitchen too, but there’s no door. He likes to make his feelings on the whole thing very very loudly. But he took his medicine well, and Jay didn’t get scratched while doing it, so he’s a good kitty. I have way to much to remember to do tomorrow. I’ve written it all down, but it’s just not going to happen, I wager.
