First the update. Dizzy has been peeing like a madman for the last few hours! The idea is to pump out more than they are putting in, they call it "going negative". They are putting in 9.5cc of fluids per hour, yesterday he started output @ 8-10cc, then he went down to 3-4cc. This morning he went up to 10cc. When we were up there on the 11 o'clock hour he did 11 or 12cc. We left at 12:30 for lunch and he was already at 14cc! in just half an hour! That's my boy! If he can keep up around that rate it will make the Docs a lot more comfortable about closing his chest and getting all those tubes and lines out of his body..... so, good news.
Now for the explanation: When Bess was about 2-3mo. pregnant, we were out on the couch talking about Andrew and feeling her belly. As many of you may or may not know, I happen to be a pretty good rapper (for being white, with no rhythm, limited vocabulary, and a minimal exposure to thug-life, the hood, and pimping.) So I busted a freestyle rhyme like "We're in the Hizzy with Dizzy in the Bizzy fa shizzy" ..... loosely translated = "We are in our own house, with our child Andrew inside Bess's Belly, and we're pretty sure about that statement." And as you may or may not know, I really don't like the nickname's "Andy" or "Drew", and we have to reserve "Andrew" for when he's in minor trouble, "Andrew LeMar" when he is in moderate trouble, And "Andrew LeMar Page!" when he does the unthinkable. So, Dizzy is the best nickname, it has a history, and it stuck. I like it and it's growing on Bess. I hope that clear's up the confusion/questions... it's a term of endearment. Bess says hi and thanks for all the support and prayers. Will talk to you all later...

I, myself, never doubted Steve's musical abilities, but must admit the rapping style blew me out of the water fa shizzy!
Glad to hear Andrew is doing so well this afternoon!

You're right. I do love it even more now that I know where it came from. Steve, you may not know this about me, but I, too, am a pretty darn good rapper; in fact, I’m down right off the hook. Perhaps we should consider a record?
I am assuming that the Andrew LeMar Page has been used quite a bit this last week as he has done the unthinkable... scaring us, and he isn't even a teenager yet! What is he thinking?
As for the rapping... not so sure Steve!!:)
