Don't call it a setback...Ok, so it sucks that Duggie has those big tubes across his little face again, with all that tape. But on the upside, he's apparently comfortable, with very little apnea, and just as importantly he's growing. And as another silver lining benefit, as you'll see in the picture above and the video below, the tape pulls his nose and already-slanty eyes down in such away that he kinda looks a lot like a little alien love child, with depth and wisdom beyond our galaxy. Especially in his little Easter bonnet left by some local do-gooder crafts/charity folks in Austin. So there.
We had our dear friends Lightning and Syn with us this Easter weekend, which was a very welcome distraction and great company. These guys are the ones we were going to visit with in Fiji (along with a big crew of their other friends and family) before we got so suddenly and miraculously diverted. They are wonderful friends anyway, but the fact that they flew here from San Francisco to visit with us and see Douglas with their own eyes, just after they got back from a 3 week trip to Fiji and New Zealand, demonstrated again just how special they are. The further we get along in this life, the more evident it becomes that all that really matters is friends and family. But then I guess we already knew that.
Here's to that, and here's to lil DuggiE.T.
