Bandages come off...

Dear Nicky,

This morning we gave you a nice long bath and soaked you good. It was time to get the bandages and tape off your abdomen and your privates. We were nervous, especially about the tape on the latter, but that came right off. The tape on your belly came off a couple hours later. You're looking really good all around. Well, eventually you will be. I think that doc did an excellent job. Sorry, but I had to apply some antibacterial ointment, and I'll have to do it again. Yesterday, I got us a juicer for the kitchen, and when I wasn't waiting on you hand and foot today, I was juicing, man, juicing. I juiced some apples and oranges in the morning, then some tomatoes, celery, and an apple this afternoon, and this evening when Mom came home, I juiced some strawberries, kiwi, lime, and another apple. Man, that stuff tastes good! I like the taste of fruits and vegetables, but not so much the feel and texture of them. We put you to bed early because at six we tried to give you some beef and carrots. You only took a couple nibbles before you started to cry. Poor kid, you're teething at last, and it must hurt a lot. I gave you 1.5 milliliters of Tylenol with codeine (which the doc prescribed for surgery pain) and you were out in two minutes. You'll eat well tomorrow, I'll see to that.

Love,
Dad

I saw someone make reference to your blog so I checked it out. Your writing is beautiful.

I don't know you but I envy you and I envy your son. You've made me realize that I'm missing alot in life.

Your son has got to be one of the luckiest kids alive.
