Day 10:
It's been a busy day for you today, Conor. Starting early this morning so many visitors came to see you! First it was our old friends, Josh and Melissa. Then it was Paul and Jennifer. Later in the day it was Grandma M.E. and Grandpa K9, and with them was my Mom, who you'll some day call Mom-Mom. They came to see you because they love you, Conor. They want to see you and to cheer you on, Son. Conor the Lion Heart... Conor An Chroí Lion.
When Uncle Paul and Aunt Jennifer came to see you they brought a camera, some blankets, and an imaginative spirit. You see, Mommy found a really great hat on Etsy.com to help you celebrate the Christmas holiday, and Aunt Jennifer and your Mom conspired to turn you into a baby model; complete with a staged crib, blankets, and even artificial lighting! Then things took a scandalous turn... They stripped you NAKED! Nine days in the world and already you're doing a "Playbaby" shoot.... Oh the humanity!!
Actually, Daddy's being silly. The pictures turned out beautifully. You're quite the photogenic little man, Conor! Surely a trait you get from your Mom. Daddy's got a face for radio, Son. Though one picture after the other I looked on marveling at just how amazing you are.
You've got a lot of people behind you, Conor. Family, Friends, Doctors, Nurses, Specialists... Several times a day I speak with a number of different nurses here at the Virginia Hospital Center... And not just the nurses who are charged with your care- No, no. Any nurse who has worked with you genuinely enjoys you. You're a quiet baby, yet feisty and spirited. You're a small baby yet ready to move and always hungry. And you're so handsome, Conor. They just love you. And they all know how strong you are and how hard you're fighting. And all your visitors, too. Friends and Family and Nurses and... Well, you get the picture. I'm just being redundant now. But they are cheering you on, Son... Conor the Lion Heart. Conor An Chroí Lion.
I love you, Son.
-Dad
