Another Blessedly Stable Day
Today was another in what we hope is a continuous succession of stable days. Although we are assured of more ups and downs. Doctors and nurses on rounds this morning said they were very pleased with Nolan’s state at the moment. He is still being weaned off the ventilator, little by little, and they may take out one of the lines (a PAL (?) line i think) which would give them the ability to give Nolan some more nutrients and such to help him to start growing and putting on weight. He was down 30 grams today, to 470, but the docs assure us that his weight will continue to fluctuate. He still seems to be tolerating Kara’s milk, which he gets about 30cc a day, i think that’s the correct number, i know they keep telling us it is a tiny amount for his tiny gut. And any amount of mother’s milk is golden for Nolan now. One last little observation: Nolan looks like a little fuzzy frog when he is laying on his belly.

Maria,
Thank you for sharing your family’s news. What a sweet, beautiful miracle Nolan is. You, Kara, Ronan and Nolan will be in my prayers tonight and every night till you’re all sitting at home cuddling Nolan on the sofa and watching your strong, happy boy batting at toys on his bouncy seat.

What can I say but that I send love and hugs and prayers all day long. You are two (now it’s three now, isn’t it?) wonderful people and I am so happy for this connection to you via the web. Much, much love, Margaret

Ronan, thanks for leaving this update — it’s great to hear news from someone besides myself, so I don’t feel like I’m talking to myself…
big love,
Maria
