The Look on Your Face

[TexanMark]

When you've talked yourself into seeing 6 wins this season.

BTW, my grandson on the way home after nearly 5 months in the NICU. He was born at 24.5 weeks and 1lbs 9oz.

We are blessed as a family...looks like only the feeding is an issue right now. Hopefully he will grow out of it. That is a feeding tube proving supplemental breast milk.

Holy Cow...thats freaking amazing TM. Very very happy for you and your family...you've got yourselves a little fighter there. (maybe a future safety )

Now that is a real tough guy. Thrilled he's going home! Congrats grandpa.

That is awesome. Modern medicine is unreal -- congratulations!

Miracle baby! Congrats to you and your family, grandpa!

 

[Shenexon]

Congrats to everyone involved, especially the little dude!!

My nephew was born 2 1/2 months premature. He's now a 6'2" knucklehead.

Showed your grandsons picture to my wife, a NICU vet. She says he looks great! Congrats Mark and family!

 

[billorange44]

That is awesome. From one grandpa to another congratulations! Remember, that little tyke is God's gift to you for not killing your kid. You don't know how many times I have told my daughter that. She is thankful.

For not killing your kid?

 

[TexanMark]

For not killing your kid?

Think he meant it metaphorically...at least I hope so. :rolling:

For not killing your kid?

I had to read it twice, but I get it now. Think of the scenario of taking your kid to Toys R Us, and thinking maybe I should just leave him here.

 

[Chip]

Congrats Mark. They may not know anything yet, but they're fighters regardless.

 

[tep624]

Congrats! Nice to see some good news after such a rough week all the way around.

Yeah it was a hard to decipher joke at first but funny nonetheless.

 

[AZOrange]

Been there Mark with my youngest...I bet you will be a donor to that Hospitals NICU for the rest of your days.

Congrats! Not sure if you know how much that extra week meant but 24.5 is about as young as they can be!!!

 

[care taker]

Wow congrats

My oldest had a feeding tube. They grow out of it.

Congrats!

WOW...THANK GOD, BUT HE LOOKS A LOT LIKE GRANDMA

 

[PhatOrange]

24 weeks ? Wow!

Can't wait to see him at a tailgate. My daughter was 8 weeks premie, she's 22 now and I thought thought that was early!

 

[orange79]

Your 24.5 weeks beats my 26.

Glad things worked out, Mark. Congrats!

I know...we were steeled for a long battle. Lil Finn so far has pressed way past normal expectations. He will definitely need one minor surgery in about 12-18 months. His mommy is a speech pathologist so that is a blessing too.
