My new friends

Most of you that are family know that I have been helping a prisoner here in Bogota. She is a US citizen and just gave birth this week on Tuesday night. She is returning to prison so for the next week while he remains in the hospital I will be going to visit him.  His mommy is so excited to have him! I originally thought she might not care but now that he is here she is thrilled and she is soaking up information like a sponge to learn to take care of him. When I saw him without her this morning he was sleeping peacefully. When he heard her voice he started stretching and putting his hands in his mouth.  He was so excited to hear her come!

He was about 5 lbs 5oz at 6 weeks early so he is doing well! He will be in the hospital to have some oxygen as well as to be sure that he is feeding well. It is a neat opportunity to use my NICU experience. He is such a cutie! Here are a few photos from my visit today.
