Pictures as promised!

Hooray for someone with a digital camera!

Helen's Uncle Keith and Aunt Johanna visited the hospital today and brought along their camera.

What you'll see in the pictures are Rian and all the equipment to monitor him, supply him with medication and everything else that a baby 8 weeks pre-mature needs.

He has two tubes in his mouth. The larger is the ventilator tube which goes straight this his lungs, the second goes to his tummy and was used to remove some of the gunk he swallowed during birth. On his foot is his pulse/blood pressure monitor, on his chest are his heart monitors, then lastly, his IV actually goes through his belly button.

Right now he's getting the royal treatment and has his own room, so as to avoid interaction with the commoners. Really, he just got lucky, pretty much every baby has the same equipment.
