Hi Sebastian!

Well cutie….Today you are 10 days old, but you’re still not doing so well! You are on the High Frequency Respirator and still have a lot of tubes and medication. A few days ago you were retaining a lot of fluid and you had a purple, bronze color. Luckily you have lost most of that fluid and are returning to a beautiful baby pink! mama and papa come and visit you a few times every day. They bring you little blankets that smell like mama such that you can get used to her scent. When you are ready to go on the normal respirator (or even without the breathing tube) then you can lie on top of mama and papa. I’m sure that they are looking forward to that.

A few days ago I made a print of your little foot. I have put it right here in your diary. Isn’t that small? papa and mama are totally in love with your feet.

Ok sweetie, sleep well because that makes you big and strong. And dream about nice things such as eating ice cream, playing basketbal or putting your feet in the sea.

Big Hug,

Mechelien
