Not this time anyway. He's actually born with a syndrome called 22q11, more commonly known as Catch22. People are affected by this syndrome quite differently, some have a lot of problems and others barely nothing. So far our son has managed to suffer very little from it. He was born with a minor heart failure (that by now has pretty much fixed itself) and also one cystic kidney that they operated (took it out) when he was only 8 weeks old. Apart from that he's doing quite fine. He's a cool little bugger getting big.

I for one take this whole medicine/hospital thing quite easy, probably because I'm both doing my PhD in medical sciences and also go to medical school to become a doctor, not to forget the fact that my wife is also a nurse. So you could say that medicine runs in my family.
