Here at my hospital, I have nearly one-hundred baby-friends that are having a difficult start to their lives. As we all know, we come into this world looking very very naked. Hospitals do their best to dress babies, but it is simply not their forte. Hospital clothes are like hospital food: borrrrrring. At least, that is what all the girl babies tell me.
Knowing this, my aunt extraordinaire--my Aunt Beth--organized seven of her knitting comrades and crafted several blankets and well over one-hundred hats for my friends here at John's Hopkins All Children's Hospital. So before I go today, I would like to thank my following friends: Aunt Beth from Ohio; Heather Price from Michigan; Kathryn Nichols from Minnesota; Ms. Ahlgren from Missouri; the Coogans from Maryland; Linda Fosdick from Virgina; Sarah Zyla from California; and Ms. Nicole Harres from Colorado.
"Its good to be naked, but its better to be naked with a hat on," so said every baby in a hospital. Stay warm my friends. Your CDH pal, Noah Abner.
P.S. I'll give a much-needed medical update tomorrow.
P.S.S. My dad refused to put my hat on because he didn't want to break Rule #1: don't wake a sleeping baby.

Noah you are so blessed to have such wonderful talented friends who know how to knit and crochet such beautiful things - for you and your friends! What a wonderful thing they have all done! You wouldn't want to wear anything I knitted, trust me! Sleep well little one...I am storming heaven for you everyday with my prayers.
Donna said... How cool is that!!! I think your dad was quite right. Here in Ireland it is raining today so I could do with one of those cosy hats. Well done to all of those lovely people who cared so much to take their time to look after you guys. You are surrounded by a team wishing you and your family warmth in more ways than one!!!). D x
Your father sounds like a very wise man. I thoroughly enjoyed knitting those hats for your friends in the NICU. Let me know if you or your friends would like more. PS: looks like you are doing very well.
Hi buddy, you look so comfy, smart dad of yours to not wake a sleeping boy. Praying without ceasing for you little guy. Looking forward to an update. And say hi to your brother and sisters for us with a wink.
Dearest Noah, Even with all you are going through, you are truly gracious for all the gifts you receive. That is an excellent trait for such a young man. Your parents are already teaching you to give back and that is really really special. We love you and continue to pray that God keeps his healing hands on you.
Love you baby! Aunt Snookie & Uncle Grant
