Baby Sage is Well!

Dearest Baby Skyler,

Shortly after you were born, Mama read in the papers about Baby Sage. He was born on Christmas day, just 3 days before you were born. Shortly after he was born, he was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder – “maple syrup urine disorder”. Mama was particularly saddened by his story and blogged about it earlier on, on 13th February 2006 (http://skyler-1.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html), because of the proximity of his birthdate to yours and because we let you have a trial test for such genetic disorders after you were born.

Today, the Straits Times “Mind Your Body” section caught up with Baby Sage again and shared the good news that, except for some developmental delays, he is well and healthy! In fact, he is a whopping 12kg now! He’s SO much heavier than you, our lean little girl! Praise God for Baby Sage’s progress!

Good health is something we can’t take for granted, Little One, which is why we always thank God for your health. :)

Loving your sweet smile and kisses,

Papa and Mama
