Felix meets his new little sister, Emma Richardson, on February 26, 2009. He has helped his mother choose her first outfit: cowboy pajamas. Felix, like his older brother Mathias, has a genetic disease that progressively destroys the brain. Mathias is now deaf and paralyzed and cannot speak. While Felix shows no outward signs of the disease yet, one hope for his survival is Emma, who his parents selected to have the exact right genes. Stem cells taken from the umbilical cord at the time Emma's birth may save Felix if the disease breaks out.
