"You have to eat the elephant in small portions" as my colleague usually says, when something big and challenging is about to happen. Now, we have just chewed the trunk and one of the ears. Phase one and two are completed.
The first and the biggest step – the operation – has been completed. And at 11 am we checked out from the P-ICU hotel and took the lift down to ward 323. Great! Not that I dislike the Intensive Care Unit, far from it. They are totally fantastic. But this means that everything is stable for Abbe and that another little child now requires their special knowledge more urgently.
About this blog.
Abbe is the greatest little character. A fighter with a congenital heart defect. A sweetheart with a chromosomal aberration. These are my memos and thoughts from Abbes birth and on.

What does it mean?
"Heja Abbe & Brorsan" is Swedish and translates roughly into "Go Abbe & Bro". I didn't translate it because I kind of like the header the way it is.
