Well, I'm back home again and my wife and Griffin are resting peacefully at the hospital. Tomorrow we expect that they will be discharged and the fun
REALLY begins

!!
My family and I want to pass along a very sincere, heartfelt thanks to all of you. There are some very touching sentiments posted within this thread, and we appreciate your thoughtfulness. I would like to now formally present each and every person who has poked their head's into this thread with a virtual cigar...and for those like myself who enjoy raising a pint every now and then, consider yourself toasted!!
A few specific replies:
Upper_Krust -- Thanks!! We like the name in and of itself, but I especially enjoy the D&D/mythological ring to Griffin

.
Barendd Nobeard -- I will place a set of dice on his dresser when he arrives home tomorrow for good luck. He can actually have 'em when we're sure he won't try to swallow them

. BTW, our older son has probably 6 or 7 times the number of dice I do.
A2Z -- Anytime my friend.
Darkness -- Absolutely...and thanks for remembering the sig line!
Sunderer -- That's why we rotate DMs in our group. I'm off duty for at least the next few months now

.
William Ronald -- LOL. Great use of Enting!
Teflon Billy -- Thanks on all counts, man!!
Maerdwyn -- May I learn such lessons as well as you have.
