It's a Festivus miracle!

We've finally gotten our TV and internet setup, so we can be back on the blog. The move to our spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 900 sqft, resort style apartment has been excellent. And by resort style, I mean last resort. Andi and Bella have one room, Piper has the other, and Belinda and I have the living room/master suite all to ourselves. That's right, we've got our bed in the living room. But hey, it's cheap.

Just checking in

We have finished up the move, but don't have TV, phone or internet, so posting will be a bit spotty until we get that setup. Move went as well as could be expected (thanks to all that helped).

Piper's back home

Just wanted everyone to know that Piper came home this afternoon. She is doing well, with her brand new 2010 Johnson and Johnson Turbo-charged feeding tube. We're busy finishing up packing the house (we move tomorrow) so we'll have more later.

Speaking of Policies

I was looking for just the Naked Gun quote, but this will have to do.

Another midnight checkup, another upset nurse

If you've read the post about making the ER hate you, then you know we take a very pro-active approach when it comes how our kids are treated by medical staff. So, here I sit, surfing Texags.com, flanked on both sides by a sleeping wife and sleeping baby, when in comes the nurse (nurse in training I think) for a midnight check-in on Piper.

Advice to all parents - or - how to make ER hate you and why that's a good thing

Ever heard the story of the 5 monkeys in the cage? You know the one where they try to climb up the steps to get the bananas and get sprayed with water? Well, unfortunately it's not too far from the truth, even in the medical profession. So, what's this got to do with why the ER hates us?

Piper's out of surgery and doing well

That's all we have to report right now. The surgery went great and she is currently sleeping.
