A little while ago Mark was approached and was told this photo has been published in a Chinese Magazine.
We have no idea what the article was about but what we do know is that you will see this photo in the labour ward of Queen Mary Hospital to promote skin to skin contact after birth. There you go ladies, you get to see my Hubby while you are in the throws of labour!
I am extremely proud of Queen Mary for using this photo. As I have said before, there is on average a baby born with a cleft every other week in Queen Mary Hospital. Some parents know in advance, some don't. Hopefully, seeing how happy this man is after receiving his son in his arms will give them a little comfort :)
This photo was taken while I was still in theatre so Ultan was probably 15 minutes old :)
Would you find a prouder father?!
A few more of Daddy and his wee Celtic Dragon!
Guys, I popped in your blog by chance, I really wish you guys the best. Luckily, my two kids did not suffer from cleft although they are plagued by severe skin problems I really share your emotions when bringing them in a ward for treatment.
ReplyDeleteUltan seems to be very energetic and his recovery looks to be very very promising, I'll pray for this little guy if you allow me to.
Thank you Valentin. Your very kind to think of Ultan. Eimhear
