Apart from that he's doing quite fine. He's a cool little bugger getting big.
I for one take this whole medicine/hospital thing quite easy, probably because I'm both doing my PhD in medical sciences and also go to medical school to become a doctor, not to forget the fact that my wife is also a nurse. So you could say that medicine runs in my family.

I'm glad he's doing well in spite of it all! And at least with your medical training, you can understand what the doctors are telling you. That has to be helpful. I hope the whole family has a Merry Christmas!
