A little bird told me that Ronan was going to get to hold Nolan tonight. I hope Ronan will fill us all in on whether that very exciting event actually transpired.
Nolan was holding steady when I saw him mid-afternoon. Holding steady means he hadn’t had a “desaturation fit” in almost 24 hours. His oxygen was fairly low (40-60%) and they were not having to give him extra sedation, though I think he’s still on baseline sedation. They did turn his oxygen up while I was there because they decided to resuction and reposition him, but they were moving it back down when I left and I think he held stable after that. Not very definitive news, but it’s the best I’ve got to offer…

All of that sounds like great news to me! And I hadn’t realized that Ronan had yet to hold his own child of almost 3 weeks. I’ll be praying my heart out for that to happen and for it to go well. And from here, 24 hours without a desaturation event sounds comforting–for him as well as for all y’all.

Sending Salt Lake vibes your way on this Thursday evening. I hope that all is well in so many realms. Shannon is looking forward to seeing you! You are loved, supported and held in a great light by a great number of people. I know that a Jewish prayer group is holding space for Nolan’s growth and an additional cross-country prayer/energy vigile has been occuring as well. Blessings,
