Updates on Nolan

son of “growth is the goal”

posted by ronan on Monday (11/20)

so, monday mornings can hold good news and any bit of positivity from the nicu staff is met with open arms by kara and me.  on rounds the docs said nolan looks good, he HAS gained some actual weight (he’s up to 1250 grams now), the antibiotics seem to be doing their jobs, and his wound is healing up nicely (nolan has a small sore near his ostomy which is suspected to be the point of entry for his staph infection).  his lumbar puncture (in order to test for meningitis) was unsuccessful yesterday, so given that he is looking better his repeat attempt at drawing fluid from his spine has been put off for a day or two.  the recurring theme is “growth is the goal” and the route of nolans health lies in his added grams and soon to be pounds.  thanks for sticking with us and keeping us close, and keep on keeping on.  more news later.

    A big hip-hip-horray for growing, healing Nolan! Here’s to piling on the grams, and healing sores, and vanquishing staph aureus, and smiles and raised eyebrows, and Mama and Papa’s nurturing voice and touch. Love, love, love.
