A week of firsts

So, busy week this last week with Baby and You classes (follow-up to antenatal - with me as the only guy in a room full of mums and babies (though some of the babies were boys)), Dominic's first shower (he really enjoys showers, it turns out), our first time jogging with Dominic in the stroller (managed 25 minutes today), and his first visit back to hospital since being discharged 5 weeks ago.

The hospital visit was positive, though fairly pointless. We drove all the way down for a ten minute appointment, during which the specialist basically told us 'we need to get a CT scan, then see how he's doing'. Which we've known since we left hospital. The good part is that there was no bad news, but we really could have just talked on the phone for 5 minutes, since he didn't do more than glance at Dominic - no listening to his breathing, tapping his chest, nothing. At least the news was good. Oh, and the possible operation time could be as soon as 6 months - though we won't know for sure until after the CT.

Lastly, here's a cool imperius picture :-)

That photo is gorgeous! When is the CT scan?

You were probably at the hospital when I was, but I was in the emergency department having my very swollen ankle prodded about. It looks like it has half a tennis ball stuck to the side of it.

Some time in the next month - the request has been put through today, so we're just waiting for them to send out our appointment time. Apparently the x-ray department aren't too insanely busy, so it shouldn't be too far off.
