Apparently, preemies have no immune system. After Cole's bout with Pneumonia, they wanted to make sure the infection didn't spread to his nervous system, so they had to do a "spinal puncture." Nobody likes to be stabbed in the spine. Poor Cole handled it really well though, and after inspection, his spinal fluid showed no infection. Safe!
In other news, Cole has gained a little more weight and is eating a little more food and is generally in good shape. We are feeling good.

.. so when can he have cake?
Thank Gooooodd!!! That's great news.
I agree - Cole needs some cake! Or maybe just a few of these to nibble on:

If you're feeling good, we're feeling good.
Man. Can things be simple for just like one day in a row? Really glad to hear the good news -- but man! Poor little fella!
I just keep thinking, "I can't wait to toss this kid a ball." Like, just playing catch. You know?
Which is weird, because I'm not even a sports guy in the slightest. But (after taking a second) I think it's based in wanting to kind of skip ahead to the part where everything's fine.
So that's what I've got in my head, to look forward to. It's going to be a fun day.
I am glad cole is chowing down - chomp chomp chomp away little buddy! I can't wait to feed him the following things so that I can help fatten him up: (in no particular order)
entenmann's cookies, the jewish delicacy that is black and white cookies, gino's pizza, marvel (I think he will enjoy small chocolate cone with sprinkles like his uncle john loves), cheese doodles (I believe kate is partial to puffy?) electric yellow mac and cheese, powered mashed potatoes (another kate stein special du jour), dry birthday cake, vegetables from rick stein's garden, uncle steve's chopped liver (well maybe not in his first year...) and of course I will buy him unlimited dunkin donuts munkchins injected magically with icing because I know that is one of adam's food groups but in his first few years I know he will be a devotee of the politically incorrect jinkystein special known as SLARSH
of course I know kate will be making her own organic baby food (HA I CRACK ME UP) so these willjust be special occasion snacks but still, want to start planning this stuff as his aunt!!!!
in the immortal words of weird al:
eat it! just eat it! WHOO
p.s. I *might* be really caffeinated right now, just sayin...this craziness may be the coffee talking...but probably not :)
