Dinky had a good, albeit somewhat fussy, day. He is still getting a little choked up on his spit and no one can figure out why. We did see our surgeon and the plan is for him to have surgery on Wednesday. This is when they will do the stomach wrapping and they will also dilate his esophagus again. I was telling Martin that this surgery is almost the hardest for me because he's such a baby now. If he wasn't in the intensive care unit you wouldn't even know he's sick. So it will be hard to not see our bubbly smiley baby for a few days. Hopefully his recovery will be quick and his pain well managed.

One funny tidbit. As all of you who have followed the blog know, Dinky has had his occassional issues with pooping. Well, he seems to have it figured out. While he is "working" on one, he pushes up with his feet and wiggles his little butt around trying to "shimmy" it out. It is the most hysterical thing I have ever seen. We call it his fish dance. Whatever works...
