I'm at the hospital [1], which unfortunately does not have Internet access (which sucks, and it's obvious that I'm posting this some days after I wrote this).
Good news for The Younger: he seems to have gotten over his stomach flu.
Bad news for The Younger: the magnets have been stuck somewhere in the large intestines for the past 48 hours. And he won't be released until the magnets are released.
Sigh.
