Fun weekend!

Poor Nico got to go to the hospital for having a staph infection on his leg that wasn't being stopped by normal antibiotics.  They had the chief surgeon perform the draining and install these things to keep the incisions open, ouch. He impressed them at the hospital with his many smiles through it all.  Here is a shot of his wound, click it to enlarge if you can stand it. He goes back in a week as long as all is well to get them removed.

Still smiling even though he has that junk below going on.

Those are looped through the incisions...ew

We all had Hot dogs grandma brought over that evening.

Nico's Doctor visit

On Thursday Nico had his 6 month shots. He is doing well and catching up with the averages for his actual age (not adjusted for preemies). He is in about the 50% percentile for height and the 30% percentile for weight. He has been growing fast. I cannot believe how much taller he is getting so quickly!
