Picture 2 - Introducing Mathias Hilmer Ronnings


Hello!
Mathias is 13 inches long from head to toe when stretching out the legs (which he rarely does). A few words about all the "stuff" hooked up:

The while tape that looks like a huge grin on his face is hoding the breathing tube in place. He is mostly breathing on his own but hey, who couldn't use a little help every once in a while?!

The soft red glow on his left foot is the dohickey (look up that in the Merck Dictionary) that measures oxygene levels in the blod. It is in close contact with the previously mentioned breathing tube. If we come up a little short there's a warehouse full of oxygene to be tapped.

The four white cuffs on arms and legs measure the pulse. If one measurement is good then four must be at least twice as good, right?

Barely visible are also two thin tubes entering his belly button. One delivers grub (incl. milk) the other is used to regularly pick up blood samples for various measurements. Note the conglomeration of feeding tubes on his left. It is a varied diet!

In all, it doesn't look comfortable but at least the air is nice and warm.
