Oh wow, Debet, that is *a lot*! Wishing you a quick and safe discharge and speedy recovery and all the rest possible under the circumstances.
I'll be in my bunk.

Oh Debet your post brought back being so angry when my (perfectly healthy, not needing any unusual care) babies were taken away from me for apparently no reason in the hospital and various nurses who basically acted like the baby belonged to them. I’m so sorry that the cats you’re getting is so unholistic. But very glad to hear that Arthur is a small champion and I hope you get to go home soon.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Debet! I do hope you and Arthur escape soon. Yes, I am sure NICU doesn't see a lot of newborns his size. It sounds like monitoring at home is the best solution. I'm sorry your first days are so frustrating.

Here's hoping all goes well and you get to take him home soon, Debet!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We're all pretty ready for Arthur to get to just be a baby and see his mama without a face mask.
That sounds right! Yikes and here's hoping that happens ASAP.

I know this is the curse of autocorrect, but I wish Debet were getting holistic cats!!
Oof re: work situations of meara, flea, atropa, and Susan!
I wonder if he'd say any of those things if I dropped a cartoon anvil on his head.
I am with Dana.

Good lord, Debet.
ION, happy Trump mugshot day, everyone! I vote we make it an annual holiday.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oy, Debet, I remember the brief 5-hour stay that Matilda had to spend in the NICU and it was so very not-restful.
I did use that time to make up a song about her which I had completely forgotten about until this moment.
My little girl
Matilda Azalea
Pretty Little girl who lives by the sea
Smart as a whip, Brave and True
Matilda Azalea, I love you.
Huh. Even remember the melody.
Anyway, I hope you can get away from the NICU and the medicalizing and Arthur can get on with his round tables and round cheeks.

Dana, there have been suggestions for an annual Indictment Day. I'd celebrate that.
There are also betting pools on (1) what the orange one's actual weight (and height) will turn out to be and (2) what shade of orange his mug shot will turn out to be.

This is the one thing about Trump that's nobody's business, as it has no bearing on anything whatsoever.

Oooh, what if his face is two different shades of orange?
