he's up and running

on wednesday and today, thomas is a thousand times better! thanks to all for your concern and prayers. turns out, his recovery was rough b/c his testicle was a little shrunken and the vessels and tubes that connect it to the other organs, are actually a little short. so his surgeon had to go in deeper and pull out as much of the length as he could. the surgery normally takes 40 minutes, but thomas' took a little over 50. even wih the extra effort, it is still short. so one of thomas' little guys will always hang a little higher than the other. :)

he felt well enough last night to try to rip this monkey's arm out... and it is a mechanized monkey so it's not that light. after swinging it around a bit, he threw it down on the ground with a satisfied "wooo!"

That's great news. No worries, Thomas, all your aunties and uncles won't tell your future wife! hee hee (ok, that was a reminder for your Uncle John!)

Yes, the last thing Thomas needs is for us to be old and drunk at his wedding making embarrassing toasts!

Glad Thomas is feeling much better! =)

Good thing Aunty Audrey has a bad memory...cuz Aunty Audrey probably won't remember anything about the surgery!

Beer makes my memory worse, Thomas, so it is in your best interest to make sure you have an open bar at this future wedding of yours.

Somehow I fear your father's idea of an "open bar" is spending $100 on Two-Buck Chuck. Don't let it happen.

Thomas: if you have guiness (and make sure its not cold) at your wedding, I think I can forget about your little guys... maybe by then they won't be so little!
