June Fredrika Marie
Hi,

my mum felt that I was Ill. I told her by not moving around like I used to do.

Mum, dad and the doctors decided to take me out 2,5 months ahead of time... Now I feel much better and have recovered so quickly that the doctors call me a miracle...

When I came out, the doctors saw that I was very ill, and they, there where many of them, doctors and nurses, saved me by being very professional and the best team... Thanks a lot everyone at Karolinska Sjukhuset and Astrid Lindgren Children´s Hospital. Also thanks to Anders and his colleagues at Läkarhuset, Odenplan, who decided so quickly to send mum to the hospital..

June had a though first week. She was born through an Cesarean Section only 28 weeks old. A team of about 20 helped her to the world, and the doctors quickly understood that something was seriously wrong. Her blood value was the lowest they have ever seen....

June now spends her time in intensive care and we sit by her as much as we can. We all, the nurses, doctors, mum and dad and you help her through her though times.

Dear Friends, June is going great. She now produces blood herself and is a very healthy child. We are so greatful that everything turned out well. We spent more than 100 days in hospital and June has gone through more than most of us do in a lifetime.

She is already a globetrotter. She has been to the very north of Europe and to the very south as well. She enjoys flying and the airports with a lot of people.

She is so happy all the time and just laughs. Three days ago she sat by her self. We will get some new pictures up very soon..



June is now 7 kg, is 68 cm tall and HEALTHY. She is such a sweet baby and she smiles all the time... Keep visiting our guestbook !!!



"Lieber Gott, bitte mach, dass die kleine June ganz schnell gesund und gross wird, so dass sie bald nach Hause zu ihrer Mama und ihrem Papa kann."

Part of Maximilian's (3,5 years old) night praying ever since he got to know that June was born. In English, this means "Dear God, please let June get well and large quickly, so that she can come home to her mum and dad very soon.

We are so greatful for Maximilians and all of your support !!!

Liten ?..............................Small ?

Jeg er akkurat stor nok,.............I am just right,

Er du större enn deg selv kanskje ?..Are you larger than your self maybee ?
