And now... Pink's Life

I know it's been a few days, so here goes...

Colleen, Marcus and Mom-in-Law got home sometime between 2000 and 2100 on Tuesday. Marcus was as happy to see me as I was to see him. I missed them all, and now it feels like home, family.
Wednesday night, however, was interesting, to say the least. My parents came over to hang out and have dinner with us. At one point, Marcus just wouldn't stop crying. He carried on with this pained wailing, and a look of "Help me, please!" on his face. We were all at a loss of what to do. It went on for over an hour, at least. Dad walked him around for a bit, patting his back, and he let out a powerful belch. Colleen had been on the phone with Pediatric Urgent Care to see what could be going on. Turns out it was most likely just a giant gas/air bubble in his system, and it needed to come out. After the crying stopped, we put Marcus on the floor, and he was just as happy as he normally is, thrashing about, smiling up a storm. It was hard to believe that just a little while before that, he was howling his head off. Go figure.
Mom-in-law left on Thursday afternoon. She made it back down to VA in about 8 hours or so without any drama.
