So Tiny

February 21, 2007 lavenderlady 30 comments

Our family’s new baby is back in the hospital. He will be three weeks old on Thursday. The Doctor suspects viral pneumonia. They have him on oxygen and the doctors and nurses atOlympic Medical Center are taking excellent care. The problem is mom is also sick. Once baby was checked in, fed and hooked up, I took her to the Doctor. He suspects day 5 of the flu. There have been 2 deaths in children in the Seattle area from flu related complications. Naturally we are all worried. I will be posting some photos from my archives with bland comments over the next couple of days. I promise to catch up, but priorities for the moment.

Baby’s look fragile and tiny, but they’re really very strong. I pray that this mom and baby recover quickly. At least he’s in hospital and receiving excellent medical care.

There is nothing sadder to me than a sight of a tiny baby hooked up to all those support tubes. I hope he and his mom recover very quickly. My thoughts are with them and you too, Norma.

What a terrible picture
Such a little hand and these transparent tubes on the sheet
Nevertheless, I see the hand is not closed, this hand is relaxed
This baby will be fine soon.
This baby will forget all of these moments and be a healthy baby.
I hope so. Je l’espère très fort.

Love this little hand. Couldn’t help but notice the tube.
Thinking of you all very much. Hoping for good news soon.

I’m sure that all will go better and better in a few days, babies are stronger than we often think. The doctors are doing all possible for your lovely baby and his mother. I would want to give you strength and hug you, it’s so unbearable to see those we love suffering and anxious.

Dear Norma, I am sending all my best loving energy for the baby and mom. How fortunate we all are to live in these times with awesome health care.

It is a beautiful photo! I work in a hospital and I know it is so very hard for the families when a tiny little baby (or anyone they love) is sick enough to stay there. Many times, especially with little babies, it is more for precaution. Take advantage of whatever help the hospital/nurses, etc can give you – that is why they are there! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for both mom and baby.

A very sweet picture… and sad story. I add my thoughts and prayers to this already long list of wishes for your family.
