Day 3 and 4 Life as a Ladies Man

Days 3 and 4 are boring, which is awesome. The omphalocele membrane is becoming tougher and more opaque, before you could see through it, not so much anymore. Few more days of this and they will be able to start applying the silvadene, which is the burn cream. He is so well behaved. Only fusses when he is fussed with. Alex started making milk, so those bad boys aren't just for decoration anymore. She tried to feed him and he refused, so he got a feeding tube so they could give him the milk. But as faith would have it, magic hands DiFranco not only can quiet the boy but can get him to eat too. I fed him tonight around 9 pm, which was only the 3rd time I have held him, and got him to take down 6cc's of milk. Yeah baby! I have told everyone about the blog, including student nurses who were on a tour of the NICU today. My goal is to have Frankie become an internet sensation so I can retire. Alex will be discharged tomorrow around noonish. We have until then to fill out the Birth Certificate info or there is a bunch of paper work to do it later. She wants Frankie as his proper name. I am shooting for Francenzo. Other options are Franco (Italian), Franklin (English), or Francesco (French). I plan on winning, but just remember Frankie, when you look back at this blog in 20 years, and if you don't like your name, it's your Mother's fault. But also remember this boy, I love you more than anything else in the world and will never let you down, like I said, it was your mother's fault.
