I am 7 months old today!!!! On the medical end of things...I launched a personal recall on the broviac system. I never really liked them to begin with and those silly doctors just kept putting them back in me. Did a drive by through the hospital and picked up a med. port for myself. The parents think that it is more "Timmy proof" meaning it might keep me out of the hospital. With this device, if I decide to pull it out, they just hook it right back up. The majority of the med. port is implanted under the skin and all the parents need to do is access the device. Sounds kinda complicated, huh? Don't worry....they can handle it.
Also, Dr. Crow has dropped my TPN IV fluids down to 6 days a week. I will be off of it from Monday mornings until Tues evenings!!! During this time, there is nothing on the surface of the skin to pull on...no tubes, no dressings, no nothing. It's Monday afternoon right now and I am a real baby with no parts and pieces to worry about.
THE BIG NEWS.......I'm getting a bath tonight. A real bath. Submerge and soak my butt in the water bath. In my 7 months, this will be my first real baby bath....stay tuned for some pictures to come!
This picture is dedicated to Kristin at the NICU...wanted to show her that my hair is growing back.

Hey Timmy, looking good. Good to see that you're doing well. If I don't see you before, I'll see you at your first ever Fantasy Football draft! You'll have a blast laughing at some of these guy's picks, I certainly do.
You da man, T-Mark!
I am so happy to see all of the wonderful progress our little guy is making. I certainly miss cuddling with Timmy in the NICU but I am VERY happy to see him at home where he belongs. The hair looks great. I knew it would!
