Hey Bro!
This is me coming home after hospital release, a week old; a meeting between the 2 brothers, my big brother Dante does the talking!
To make things easier on my brother, I bought him a present:
At home!
So I was born on a Sunday, March 17th, 2013. With 35 weeks of pregnancy, just when my Mom started to get hopes of having me at full term, I became restless and decided this was the day; Mom and Dad drove with my brother Dante from home in Valparaiso to the next coastal town Viña del Mar, to Clinica Ciudad del Mar, where Mom’s gynecologist attends.
No holding back, and at 23:00h the same day I am born. The next morning I am taken of respiratory assistance, and at 21:00h I am transferred by ambulance to public Hospital van Buren in Valparaíso, around the corner from home. Only Moms and Dads are allowed in the Neonal unit, so when after a week I am released from hospital, Monday March 25th, I really look forward to meeting my brother Dante and other family members and friends.
How exciting to meet my big brother, it looks like he is somewhat uncertain about this new situation; my Neonatologist recommended me to buy my brother Dante a present, to become friends and partners, what a grand idea! So I got him a fire station with a ramp, 2 cars and a door, his favorite items: doors and wheels. Upon arrival, although he wanted to touch me and seemed a bit invaded in his territory, he liked the gift, and with a few days I guess we will become hermanos amigos.
My date of Birth: 17-3-2013
Dear family and friends,
After all that happened I couldn’t wait either, and although my Mom took all possible precautions and rest staying home in Valparaiso – Chile, I decided that last Sunday night March 17th, 2013 at 23:00h and with 34 weeks & 6 days it was time to see what life is all about, and proudly present myself: Enzo Omar Koning Venegas, born with 2,6kg / 5.7 Pounds & 45cm / 17.7″.
Compared to my brother Dante (dantemax.com), 6 weeks extra in Mom’s womb make a huge difference (5.7 vs 3.3 Lbs, 17.7″ vs 15″), but in my eagerness to come out I forgot to breath and needed respiratory help, ventilator at first and CPAP for the first night. Since the next day I am breathing on my own and in Neonatal intermediary care, hopefully after a week I will be released from hospital to meet my brother and family!
