on the nod
Nolan is resting very soundly right now, with Kara soaking up his peaceful presence. The majority of his repose comes from heavy sedation, fetenyl and verset every 2 hours and as needed if he gets upset. The current plan is to keep him resting, not fighting the ventilator, so that his oxygen saturation is good and after his last dose of the initial course of steroids tomorrow, he can start growing, despite his sedation, and hopefully his lungs will grow with him. So, no real ups or downs at the moment, just blissed out narcotic sleep, so continue to think healthy lungs, and grow grow grow. Let us all be peacefully in repose, Sammy Davis Jr Jr.

Tonight as I danced with my class, my focus was on Nolan. Each conscious breath I took in, I sent the energetic knowledge of breath to Nolan, hoping that he can tap into prana….Nolan is wise. His cells are healing, and microscopically producing new cells that accept breath easier, and easier as time elapses.
In love and light–

You take sleep where you can get it, I think, and tonight I’m glad Nolan is zonked. Rest, my dear boy, and save your fighting for another day.

Wow. With so many people who love you so much telling everyone they know about Nolan, pretty soon Kevin Bacon himself will be praying for the little critter. Sending you vibes of love and oxygen, peter & paco

Ronan—you write so beautifully. I have been focusing most of the day on those tiny lungs in your precious little boy —thinking healthy lungs and “grow, grow, grow”. Hope that peaceful rest was good for all of you.

Just recently finished our 2nd Annual L.A. Songwriters Festival and sent a prayer and a song out 2 250 eager guests to let them know how much we are thinking about each of you. I love you Kara. Ronan, I am sure without a doubt that you are there for everyone. Love you all. Charles Davis - the adventurous cuz

As I write, I am sensing growth potential in so many areas of Nolan’s life. Ronan and Kara, I hope that you two are able to take care of yourself and one another as your incredible journey supporting Nolan continues. Blessed be.

Mercy ,this is hard, not something one can ‘prepare for’ . Kara - with my understanding of your nuturing soul there is nothhing I want more than to be there and provide props as if shoring up Noah’s ark for the final journey.
Ronan, I only want to know you better as I have witnessed so much form so far…and Nolan, I plan to be there when you are released in december. lv.s
