8 weeks can be a really long time...

So after being home from the hospital for a little more than 24 hours, I have found an interesting challenge. Josh's tube has to be taped going straight out of his tummy so the site heals correctly. This tube will be replaced in 8 weeks when he is healed. But until then... we have this lovely affect going on with his clothes.....

It sticks out a good 3-4 inches... and so I have to make sure his clothes stretch over it but not tightly. Sigh... this could be a VERY interesting 8 weeks. I will be glad to get the permanent MIC button put in then.


Just click on the picture.. you'll see how far out it goes. Nice, huh?

What happens when he falls or leans up to something and hits it? I hope that he is feeling better after the surgery. There sure are lots of surprises when you go through something new. Good luck!
