Ma'am, I don't think your 2008 slider phone is water/rogue wave/typhoon

[enriquemzn262]

Having grown up in the era of weird slider/flip phones, half the fun of them was figuring out the hilariously catastrophic ways they could be opened, usually ending with the phone cut in half lmao

Sister lost two phones that way, and so did at least three schoolmates around 2005-2007.

C-section threw all our plans out of wack, so anything you guys can help with will be greatly appreciated, our baby is fully covered, but we don’t know what we will need for my wife.

This work week is basically gone for me, so next week I need to make up for it.

[enriquemzn262]

Thanks for the help!

Boosting because this 2-day birth just became a week-long affair, all medical expenses are being covered, so I just need help with the random things like takeout food, sending stuff back and forth home and between hospitals, and the occasional list of baby toiletries the hospital request from us.

[enriquemzn262]

One last boost, as I’m now looking at another week of hospital stays and random expenses.

[enriquemzn262]

A bunch of exams didn’t come out as good as we hoped, both from my wife and my son, so today neither is being send home, but hopefully tomorrow both will be.

It’s been a very stressful morning, not gonna lie.

[enriquemzn262]

Welp, he’s still not coming home anytime soon.

This is now the second longest week of my life…

Guessing from the light that Franco's got jaundice. It's actually fairly common in newborns. Hunter had it, and required light therapy for a few days, and extra fluids. That was pretty much it. Deeeep breath, papa! This is a bit scary, I known especially when it's all new, and it's the people you love most, and YOU can literally do nothing but stand by. As long as the doctors say he's eating well, and your lovely wife is recoverying, then it's good. They're both right where they need to be right now, to get over this bump. Imagine if you were out in the campo instead! Sending love and prayers.

[enriquemzn262]

Thanks for the kind words, on our way to another hospital where they have proper incubators with the phototherapy machines, as opposed to just the light he had on while awaiting transfer.

[enriquemzn262]

After a long night in the neonatal ICU, Franco has shown great signs of recovery, his skin is back at its normal color, only the skin around the mask over his eyes remains with a yellowish tint, but I’m told that’s completely normal.

In an hour or so I’ll get his lab report, and if everything goes smoothly, he should be released tomorrow morning.

Man this has been one scare after the other, and to think we had been told the birth would be natural and be done at around Monday night lmao

[enriquemzn262]

They need to endure he didn’t get sick due to an infection, so pending his lab results he will stay hospitalized until Sunday.

My wife also remains hospitalized in the first hospital due to a slight spike in her blood pressure, its under control now so she should be released tomorrow.

Man, what a week.

[enriquemzn262]

Final update until my boy is released from the hospital:

It’s an UTI, we need to know exactly what type of bacteria, but in the meantime two types of wide spectrum antibiotics are being given to my baby, so this will take a while to sort out, so for now the newborn ICU is my new home.

The good news is my wife has finally been released, so that’s a big relief, we plan to have her come stay with our son starting Monday, so she can at least rest all Sunday, I wanted her to rest a few more days, but she just can’t stand being away from our boy, so that’s the compromise we reached.

Man what a week indeed…

I’ll leave some normal posts on the queue, and try to get this place back to normal posting, as I now need it to unwind and distract myself from this debacle when I get the chance to rest.

In Mario Kart: Double Dash, the place where the drivers emerge from after going inside the Warp Pipe on the Peach Beach track is supposed to be an open window above the pipe (the only open window on the track, making it clear this was the design intent), but this is nearly impossible to see in-game.

Top: the closest this can be seen is in two-player mode if one player turns around to look at the building, but the game's camera does not move up high enough to show the window unless the second player is very far away. As such, this is basically not visible (note Mario and Luigi being barely larger than a pixel on Wario and Waluigi's screen). Also note that this game does not have a rear view button so Mario and Luigi cannot look behind them as they would be able to in later games.

Bottom: only with external tools can the camera be shifted in such a way as to actually show what is happening. Note that the window is aligned with the Item Boxes but not with the exit point of the drivers; this is possibly a remnant from earlier in development where the arc was different so that the drivers could emerge directly from the window and grab the Item Boxes.

Gotta love the “shower” setup in the hospital’s bathroom where my kid is being treated: A cut soda bottle and a broom, the bottle to store water so you can dump it over you, and the broom to help keep flooding to a minimum.

Granted, these were never really designed to have people shower in them, but since its the closest bathroom to the newborn’s ICU, I guess this was the best they could do to help parents who can’t leave to take a shower elsewhere.

My grandma lives nearby so thankfully I showered there.
