Thanks, y'all; guess I should have added to this more than a week ago, but, well.....

Anyhow: thanks for your good wishes; I'm glad to say the kid (kid? heck, anybody who's spent more than a year in a warzone's no kid, no matter HOW many of his diapers I remember changing!) is fine, if a little skinnier than before. All pieces present and accounted for, and we're currently backing off so he and his lovely bride have a chance for a private welcome-home party, before the family re-decends on them.
