Fortunately Dinky has had a better day today. We haven't had any big "spells" and he's been very comfortable. We are still waiting for them to take out the chest tube that he's had since surgery, hopefully that will happen at some point today. He's up to about "half feeds", so once this amount doubles he can get rid of the TPN he's had (the same liquid nutrition formula he had early on). Many of you have asked about his weight and I keep forgetting to mention it, he's about 5-1/2 pounds now so he's become quite the chunker :) So thank goodness we've had a good day. Dinky has smiled many times and so I have tried to smile, too. If he can be going through all of this and still muster a sweet grin then I had better get my act together!!
