Day 19: Frankie Fiend in La La Land
Frankie Freshness is feeling much better today, but who wouldn't went you are on morphine. He continued to be "uncomfortable" throughout the night and morning, so they replaced his Tylenol with a low dosage of morphine. He had his first hit this morning around 10. The surgeons came by this evening and re-wrapped the omphalocele. I was able to get a few shots but nothing Time magazine cover worthy. There is a small abrasion on the left side, but they said that is nothing to worry about and do not know the cause of it. Jaclyn and my Dad came up to visit us. Poor guys had to wait for hours as because the surgeons were to be right up, 2 hours later we were able to have dinner with them. We both had taco salad, which seemed like a great idea at the time. They also started to allow Frankie Trapped Toots Mylicon. Mylicon is a generic of Simethicone which is used to treat the symptoms of gas such as uncomfortable or painful pressure, fullness, and bloating. I wonder if they notice if I stole a little from the guy. He got his first dose of the stuff about 45 minutes ago. He had become fussy and instead of jumping to top rail stuff, we decided to give this a try. So far so good. Back tracking, after dinner we had the young Marty Feldman wide awake and playing happily. He is aloud Morphine every 3-4 hours but he only had it at 10 am and again at 5:45 pm. It was around 9 pm we had him up and playing, so by then it should have been about worn off. After consistently asking about the family jewels, I finally got somewhere tonight. The doctor kept telling me that it is very common for the fellas to take up to a year to descend and they wouldn't go looking for them until then. I wasn't satisfied with that. I told the lady, I don't care if they are located behind his left ear, I just wanna know they are there. Well thanks to his loving father, Frankie Fun House has officially been groped by his first foreign woman. She was able to locate the left one in his groin area between the ant eater and the leg but we still have a search party out trying to collect the reward on ol' righty. Speaking of the Frank and Beans, they say a couples sex life dwindles off after having a baby. I always thought that it was because of being tired and not having privacy, but I discovered the truth in the kitchen today. I walked in and looked at Alex and realized how much she looked like my son. Weird.
Remember there is always a ton of pictures at....
