Plateau
Nolan had a rough night last night, lots of oxygen desaturation and fits of agitation, but this morning afternoon he has chilled out some and remains stable while on some sedative. The docs think he may have picked up an infection that is causing the desats and for the x-ray of his lungs to look not so good, so they have administered antibiotics just in case. At the moment, like so many moments, we are waiting to see what happens. Tomorrow is a big day because we will all be able to see if the steroids gained Nolan any ground in the lungs department. He is now being slowly tapered off the steroids with his final dose tomorrow afternoon. He is tolerating Karas milk and his helping has been doubled and will go up soon if he continues to digest and use her liquid gold. One doctor says we are on a plateau now with his lung disease, and we have to wait to see what happens next. Wait and be patient. Nolan is peeking out of his other eye now, ever so often. Take a deep breath and invision healthy lungs and quiet rest for baby Nolan.

Dear Nolan,
You seem to be quite the fighter. Keep eating. Keep growing and most of all keep those watchful eyes on all those who love you so deeply already.
Sleep well precious one.
