So this guy I work with.....
His wife went into labour about 3 weeks ago.....about 3 months early. Baby was born at 3 lbs. His torso is the same length as my palm apparently. Since his birth, they've only been allowed to hold him 4 times. He's intabated, and drinking breast milk through a tube in his nose.
All in all however, he's doing ok and should be allowed to go home in March sometime.
Today the poor little guy is having heart surgery to repair a valve that isn't quite right. My co-worker is staying pretty upbeat. I guess you'd have to!
And it's so hard for me to not go say, "Holy crap! I can't imagine having to go through all of that!". I mean Emily was 3 WEEKS early and was itty bitty at 6 lbs. How tiny a 3 pounder must be!!
Anyway, things should work themselves out. But of all the people in the world, this guy does not deserve to be going though this....
