pictures on the way
Nolan has been very stable over the last few days. Kara or Ronan has gotten to kangaroo every night for the last four days, and it looks like the trend will continue! Nolan’s platelet count is at a whopping 329,000 and waste output continues to be excellent so they are increasing his milk intake a bit faster now. In fact, the other day, he had a diaper with 75cc of urine in it… If I’ve done my conversions correctly, that’s about 8% of his body weight! Needless to say, he lost a bit of weight with that one, but now they really think he’s lost all the excess fluid. Really.
Here’s a picture of Kara and Ronan and Nolan from Wednesday. A rare kind of picture, since it not only requires one of them to be kangarooing, but it also requires three people to be at Nolan’s bed, and that is Not Allowed though we obviously try to bend the rules sometimes. Treasure this particular picture. Exciting news on the picture front, though: my friend Satsuki has kindly lent me her camera for a few days, so I will be able to get some better pictures of Nolan, and hopefully even a passable video. In fact, I got some great pictures last night but haven’t had a chance to upload them yet. Keep an eye on the photo albums. There are already a few new pics from Wednesday of Ronan kangarooing.

You are the most beautiful family, and Nolan a most gorgeous baby to behold. Sending constant wishes for healthy lungs and lots of healthy pees and poops and healthy digestion of the liquid gold. Huge love to all.

Hello Ronan:
I hope you and your family all the best. Let me know if I can ever help in anyway.

All the absolutely adorable and irrestible cuteness aside, we must say how impressed we are! We had no idea someone so small could produce so much pee; that’s just incredible. If we did our calculations correctly,Peter would have to produce more than 2 gallons to match that level of output (8181 cc). Perhaps this will be Nolan’s superpower… and maybe then he can star in Mystery Men 2. Let’s start thinking about that costume…

What a dream! …Ronan and Nolan sharing a delicous cat nap. That is, until Nolan is wide awake, beaming out of his little peepers like he is ready to greet the world. Hello little guy! Besos grandes, KK

Wow, what a cutie!I had a dream last night that me, Ronan, Kara, and little Nolan were sitting in rocking chairs in an old farmhouse. It was sweet and peaceful. I miss you all and I’m sending good thoughts from up here in Massachusetts! I can’t wait to see you and meet Nolan when Jeff and I move to Asheville in February.
Love
