September 25, 2001   Today is my 24 hour birthday! Yipee!!! Pop says I'll be getting my first present soon too! He said he was going to give it to me, but the people at the Red Cross (scrubs, again???) wouldn't let him. Uncle John stepped in for him though. He's such a good guy. The nurse told Pop and Mom that I will probably be getting this present in the next few days. I couldn't wait to find out what it was, so I eavesdropped on the big folks talking. I'm gonna get some blood!!! I hope it's not too big for me to play with today. Maybe Pop will stay with me and play too! Uncle John is cool  : ) November 28, 2001   I get outta here today! The doctors say that I might not make it, but I got news for them - I'm gonna fight to stay around. It's fun here and I can't leave just yet! November 29, 2001   My first day home and not one spell! Before we left the hospital yesterday, Mom and Pop hooked me up to my apnea monitor and oxygen bottle. When they got home, they realized my oxygen wasn't even on! Fresh air is better than bottled any day!! December 04, 2001   Today I met my pediatrician, Dr. Ponder. She's a nice lady. She told Mom and Pop that they would just work together on doing what was needed for me. I'm just loving keeping these adults guessing what's going on with me...  December 30, 2001   I'm a full bottle baby! I'm really glad - that tube thing was getting to be a pain. Mom and Pop say now I can start getting real food - I hope it tastes good!
