Pneumonia - Settling In

Friday: Connor & Daddy were lucky enough to get their own room.
Unfortunately there were far too many buttons for the Conman to resist!

Pneumonia - Hospital Emergency

Thursday: Connor arrived at Royal North Shore Hospital's Emergency Department for assessment.
The rash had temporarily improved but his other symptoms (fever/x-ray/chronic cough) & subsequent blood work had him immediately admitted for treatment (intravenous antibiotics for both viral & bacterial pneumonia).

Pneumonia - The Beginning

Wednesday: Connor developed a fever & an extremely impressive viral rash (hives).
He's had an ongoing cough for months now which recently became much worse.
After consultation with a Paediatric Respiratory Specialist, a chest x-ray confirmed pneumonia in his left lung.

Chatter Box

Connor's vocabulary is rapidly expanding.
This photo captures him saying "Daddeeeee".

Daddy's dream of Connor opening the batting for Australia is within sight - check out his cover drive!

Despite all the excitement of a new baby sister, Connor still finds time for some exploration both indoors & out!

Our Beautiful Girl at 2 Weeks

The Feeling's Mutual

First Bath at Home

At least Ruby's the only one sleeping on the job!

Obsession

Connor's interest in Ruby increases every day.
He's forever trying to tickle her or name her body parts (much to her bewilderment)!

Coming Home

Jaundice Treatment

Leaving hospital was delayed 24 hours while Ruby was treated for Jaundice.
Connor had exactly the same treatment when he was born!

Hearing Test

Facing the World

"What the hell is that constant flashing?"
