Mathew Visits Katie, photo by Harold Davis. View this photo larger.

We took Mathew, our almost four-year-old, to visit his new sister Katie Rose in the NICU for the first time. As you can see in the photo, Mathew enjoyed his visit–and he may be a little less puzzled by what is going on after having seen his tiny sister in the flesh.

Katie Rose continues to do well, and is now a hair over one kilo (2.2 pounds). She’s had a habit of desaturating (not breathing) after she eats, so they are trying to debug this by attaching a pump that delivers the food via her stomach tube very slowly.
