A Hat
This is Baby Kelly. Baby Kelly is doing a bit of cross-dressing today and modeling a hat made for Thomas, a little newborn guy currently living in the Intensive Care Nursery at UCSF, awaiting surgery next week to move his liver and intestines back into his abdomen where they belong and fix his hernia.
Show us the front view, please, Kelly.
Thank you, dear. Now, let’s see the decrease pattern on top.
Nice. Finally, let’s get a look at the seed stitch detail.
Thank you, Kelly. We’re done for now. You can go back to whatever it is you do in there when Thing One is at school. Oh, and Kelly? Put some clothes on, would you, honey?
Please say a prayer or two for little Thomas. He needs this surgery to survive. They’re just waiting to give his kidneys time to recover b/c having his liver & intestines back in his abdomen (they’re currently up in his chest cavity, pushing on one of his lungs, which hasn’t had a chance to develop to normal size b/c of this). His parents (friends of a former co-worker of mine) are basically living in a room down the hall from the Intensive Care Nursery right now. We, of all people, understand how scary this is for them. The one reassurance is that they’re in the best possible hands being at UCSF.
