Last night I went down to Fry’s in Fountain Valley for the local launch and signing event. Here are some photos (sorry about the quality). A great time was had by all. Really cool to see all the fans and feel the energy of the occasion!
He likes a challenge
I was wandering around upstairs this morning and heard the mini-Elbeno playing downstairs. He was playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on his glockenspiel, a tune he has known for a while. When I came downstairs, he said “Look what I’ve done!” and I saw that he’d swapped around the keys…
The hardware is out
Micro-elbeno had his final op today to take out the internal hardware which has been holding his jaw together for the last few months. Mrs Elbeno got up at an infeasibly early hour to take him to the hospital, where they arrived at 5.30am. She called me just after 8am…
Father’s Day
Had a relaxing Father’s Day watching the football and went out with mini-Elbeno. We had lunch at Panda Express. As we walked in the door, the girl behind the counter said to me, “Do you want to try a sample of our new walnut-and-something-or-other shrimp?” So I thought: “I like…
My new phone number
Simply take my old mobile number and add 1,134,866,492 to it, and you’ll have my new one.
New Phone
I have finally acceded to the march of technology and got a new mobile phone. It’s quite an upgrade for me because my old phone is a Nokia 2115i and the new one is an HTC Evo. Here’s your obligatory pic of the unpackaging. I’m looking forward to speedy 4G…
Little Bro is home
Archie came home on Thursday and the screw-turning is now complete (we did the last couple of turns at home). He’s had one paediatrician appointment and tomorrow we’ll be making an appointment for him to get the other screw removed. With any luck that will be soon. He’s doing well…
Quick update
The op today went well, and now he has a nose trumpet in rather than an ET tube. So that must be a bit more comfortable for the little guy. Now, we wait another 7 days for the distraction to run its course (again).
Latest – a setback
The plate that is in the left side of Archie’s jaw broke a couple of days ago. This has caused his jaw on that side to slip back by some millimetres. The rod is partly sticking out and the asymmetry of his jaw is visible from the outside. So after…
Tubes out
Archie is doing well and as you can see he’s been extubated for a day or two now. He has been in a bit of pain what with the jaw stuff coming off again, so he’s got some meds for that and also probably as a consequence of that he…
