We took Luke to Lenox Hill today to see Annie. As you can see, he was a bit cautious initially but ended up all smiles in the end (note Annie waving to the camera -she is a miracle baby). He was very concerned that Annie was happy and very curious about the 'straw' up her nose. While we've explained to him that the 'straw' is for medical use only, I'm going to have to keep an eye on the straws around the house.Annie keeps plowing ahead. Now our visits are spent changing diapers, feeding her (either gavage or cheering her on as the nurse gives her a bottle), and telling her how proud we are of her. This is a big step away from willing her monitors to stop going off. They still do, occasionally, but we are no longer willing her to breathe. Thank you, God.
In other news, when we went back to visit Annie we were greeted by a biohazard bag with her onesie covered in 'explosive' poo. That will so be saved for posterity. And big bro Luke peed in the potty. So, life is good among the Daugherty wee ones -at least from a GI perspective :).

Hi, all - I've just finished one of the marathon talks with Gran so, in combination with the much-appreciated photos, am all caught-up on the good news. I have nothing to contribute in the GI department, but was absolutely delighted to see Luke with his little sister. He's so much little-boy now. Love to you all -
Luke and Willem are so alike - he never goes anywhere without a matchbox car in his hand. We've learned there's never an occasion where a car/truck is inappropriate, even when visiting one's baby sister in the NICU too!
