I, proud father of Kimi

[Novi]

Good news indeed!

Kimi sounds like a feisty little fighter .

[Anne]

Hopeful news, indeed!  Thanks for keeping us posted, Paul.

He took the words right out of my mouth.  Truly good news.  Thanks for keeping us posted.

[knight66]

Thanks for taking the time to keep us in the loop. Things seem significantly better, but no doubt you will feel a real longing and are impatient to reunite your whole family.

I hope the work goes well.

Mike

I am happy for you to hear that things are going so well with Kimi.

Nothing new to report, which in itself is good news. May it continue.

Today I did three hours of live broadcast to the earthquake region on the topic of helping children in the earthquake areas, include orphaned children, helping them deal with their trauma, adoption, and the problems that may come up later, etc. From the call-ins and messages we can see that it is a very important program that addressed some important needs. I was asked to talk about Kimi's donation to the children there. But I declined. This is not a time to draw attention to myself or Kimi. It is about the children in the earthquake regions.

Vanessa found a "Diary of a Premature Baby Girl" on the Internet, posted by the mother. It was so funny that it gave Vanessa very good mood. I read it last night. It was good!

Anyway, I probably won't be updating that regularly for a while, with my busy schedule and, Kimi is probably going to be stable an uneventful for a week or so.

That's more like it!

an uneventful for a week or so.

Well, I hope so!

First of all, good news. Kimi has passed the 1500 gram milestone. She has gained 250 grams so far. She is eating well and more active.

Of concern though, is the beginning stages of sapraemia, which doctors has put under control but also hoping to reverse the course. It will take probably two weeks.

By my calculation, if they can reverse course on the sapraemia successfully, she should be out of the hospital in three weeks.

Another good news is that my mother's cancer scare is over. I have kept that bit of worry from Vanessa so far, but I told her about it after the all clear from the doctor.

I will be doing a lecture for Olympic volunteers tonight, followed by three days of LIVE radio broadcast to the earthquake areas. I am hoping to have the weekend off, but there will be a one hour radio interview and possibly some TV work. I also need to put final touches on my book which is due out in two weeks. Finally, some much needed money for Kimi!

Urgent phone call from doctor. Kimi has anemia, but she has a rare blood type and they are unable to find blood for her transfusion. Right now, with the earthquake and the hundreds of thousands of wounded, blood is in short supply and rare blood types are almost impossible to find.

I have just called my friends in the healthcare field who will all be working around the clock to find blood for Kimi.

Clock ticking. Finger crossed...

What a terrible obstacle course... Crossing fingers with you.

O, dear........

[springrite]

Success! Success! We have found the right blood for Kimi!

[springrite]

As I told Kimi countless times from outside her little enclosure in the hospital: "Kimi, never worry. You can always count on daddy!"

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Where did they find the right blood, Paul?

O, man you scare me all the time, I need a strong Ristretto now, to cover my fright at this situation.

[springrite]

Where did they find the right blood, Paul?

At the blood bank. I have a feeling it was always there, except that in this special time, it is only reserved for life saving situations and not released under usual medical circumstances.

Phew! I think I'll fortify myself with a Brian symphony...

Better the Ode of Joy from Beethoven, that fits the bill for me, Alle menschen werden bruder, Gotterfunken, and all that.
