What a crazy week this turns out to be. My three months old nephew just got back from the hospital, where he was for an acute meningitis. He doesn’t seem to have any lasting damage (insert praise to your favorite god or god-like being here).
Yesterday we got a call from W’s younger sister: her second baby is born, but about 7 weeks to soon. He only weighs about 2100 grams. Being born in such an early stage, the baby’s lungs are not what they should be, so after a couple of hours the little guy was put on oxygen. He’s transferred to the Radboud in Nijmegen, one of the best hospitals for these kind of problems.
Let’s hope the grows up to be a strong and healthy boy, but for the next couple of days all we can do is wait.
