11 weeks and growing
Nolan busted in at 1387 grams on his weigh in last night, that’s 3 pounds and .9 ounces on his 11 week thursday birthday! the docs are thinking about increasing his calories to hopefully increase his growth curve and he received some lacto basilus to increase the flora in his intestines for digestions sake. the thinking being that the antibiotics hes been on could have wiped out the good with the bad flora. nolans ventilator needs seem to be decreasing, he is on lower volume and pressure and his fio2 (added o2) hovers around an average of 40%, which is great for the little butterbean. and to temper this good news with a little potential worry: nolans eye exam showed a little thickening or bunching of the blood vessels in his eye which could lead to some problems with his retina; right now their just keeping an eye (p.i.) on his eyes and moving towards laser surgery if things move in that direction. kara and i appreciate everyone’s thoughts, prayers and support and nolan appreciates stephens good luck charm for the heels to overcome ohio state last night. grow, grow, grow, our daily mantra.

Nolan is an amazing human bean whose growth and sucess fuel our days in snowy SLC. Healing energy is being sent to all cells in his body to absorb calories, support his eyes and continue to touch all on this amazing life path. Have a healing, happy day!

Viewing Nolan’s photos from beginning to present makes quite an impact. Initially Kara’s loving hand could encompass his entire head. Now he has grown to fill Ronan’s gentle hold. Way to grow Nolan! You fill us with wonder.
With warmest love,
Deb and Devon
