Just got back from feeding Boris. He was happy to see me and is operating at about 95% of normal; as the virus he had dies out he will be totally fine. The vet said there is zero reason to worry about the baby getting infected or anything, so there is no cause for concern there.
Jack fed very well tonight, when Genevieve was finally able to convince him to get started. When I left he was still snoozing and got VERY cross at any attempt to wake him up. But he has had a hard day, getting circumcised (yowch!), having at our insistence what turned out a whole bunch of mucousy goo sucked out of his throat -- a large part of his snorting & discomfort was caused by this, score one for overanxious Dad! -- having his first exam etc. etc. So it's not uncommon for him to just be like, screw you, leave me alone, which was more or less his attitude. But with alittle cajoling and prodding he eventually went to town with great gusto and he is off now having a blood test done that screens him for just about everything known to man, getting weighed, and then snoozing for a while until his next feeding around 11 pm. Me? I'm off to Jerry's Famous Deli across the way to pick up our suppers, then maybe we'll watch a movie on the iBook for a while before we try to grab a few Zs where we can.
Thanks again for all the messages of love, care and advice flowing in. I promise we will get back to everyone in the fullness of time. We really appreciate all this support at a distance.
OK for now.
