Some of you may have heard that Princess Kiko, the wife of Prince Akishino, the Emperor's second son, gave birth to a boy Wednesday morning. The baby is the first male born to the Imperial family in 41 years and becomes the third in line to the throne after Crown Prince Naruhito, 46, and Prince Akishino, 40.
Well, it turns out that Princess Kiko had her C-section at Aiiku Hospital. She was apparently admitted into Aiiku on Aug 16 because of placenta previa. Some of you may recall that I stayed at Aiiku Hospital in March and the beginning of April before they kicked us out and transferred us to Toho University Hospital. In any case, I just saw this on Japan Times just now "A surgical team of about 10 members attended the operation, with Nakabayashi, the princess' chief physician, and Tomoko Adachi, his colleague at the hospital, performing the Cesarean section."
Some of you may also recall that I have very tiny veins and none of the nurses were able to get IVs into me so they always had to find doctors to do it (and I am pretty sure some of the doctors started hiding from me because it was so hard to get an IV into my arm). In any case, one time, Doctor Adachi, who is head of Aiiku's OB-GYN department, actually had to do my IV herself when they couldn't find any other doctors to do it! She is also the one who kicked us out of Aiiku and sent us packing to Toho. Hee hee. That's the closest royal connection I have ever had in my life. ^_^
