I had no idea you guys were in ICU. Hope you guys get to bring him home soon (and congrats on the new addition BTW, he's beautiful, hope he does better soon. Know how you feel - my now one-year-old went through ICU for a week or so when he first came into the world).

Brett we have a lot in Common man. My wife used to run a day care in our home too. upstairs then i hated coming home to 8 kids in the house. so I converted the down stairs into a day care for here kitchen and all. Then all the kids were down stairs. but still when i was off i had 8 little ones wanting to feed the fish that i had in my FOWLR tank the 170 gal. they all wanted to touch BIG Daddy BLUE the Koran Angel... lol

On the other note Our son was in NICU for 2 months premature. with every type of hose in his body from a rare lung disorder not allowing his lungs to develop so he had to have shunts put in his lung to allow the fluid to drain out. so getting to hold him after the tube were out was amazing. seeing you in the picture is priceless man, well done. and the tank looks great too empty, one good thing that you wont have to test or feed the tank.

Hey thanks guys =) He took a tiny step back from his nasal prongs to a helmet giving him oxygen with a bit of pressure. He had just come off his helmet so that sorta sucks but things still look really good. 2 months in NICU I can't imagine.

This kid's gonna get SPOILED. I told the wife already. ANYTHING he wants for daddy's tank like Tunzes or Profilux...I mean it's only right to make his little world PERFECT.

I can see already he's telling you to get a profilux with dosing system.

Beautiful baby boy Brett

Congrats Brett on the boy!!
I think you will find that while boys will try to pee on you at every diaper change (at least mine does). They are a lot of fun as well. And a few years from now at least you won't be only playing tea party and princess dress-up every spare moment.

Oh and the tank... SUPER FAB!!

last couple days have had their ups and downs. Totally brutal when your little guy takes steps backwards and is on machines you thought you'd never see again. This morning however my little reefer is off his nasal prongs... No tubes anywhere! Getting closer to taking him out of qt and letting him into the dt
