Whatchu lookin' at?


(posted by Bill)

Last night was a little difficult, but only from the standpoint that Nolan is starting to become very active! He is kicking, and pulling on things, and is only sleeping in spurts. Most importantly, there are now two little slits under puffy eyelids, that have the hint of blue shining through. Nolan is now able to see, and everything is interesting again. Hopefully, the drain in his neck is removed today (as well as the IV in his foot) before our young, budding medical professional (I'm hoping for teleradiologist-those guys really haul in the coin) removes them himself. The swelling should continue to go away as well.


Dr. Lucciano, the neurosurgeon, stopped in this a.m., and I was happy to see him. He is still extremely pleased with how Nolan is doing. He thinks that, underneath the swelling, Nolan now more closely resembles Reagan.

We're hoping that he will be able go home in the next couple of days.

There's my boy!!!!!! Mommy can't wait to get to the hospital so we can SEE each other today. I'm sure he is tired of me telling him I'm there and he is OK. I jumped out of bed and ran to check the blog and I am so happy! Makes the drama of Reagan's projectile barfing last night go away.

He looks so much better! I'm astonished at the change from yesterday. His face has a different shape now and his eyes seem to be farther apart. How very wonderful.

Sorry you had a mess with Reagan. Hopefully it was more emotional and not "the" bug hitting her.

With a little luck, you are in the home stretch now, we sure hope. Everyone has to be totally exhausted. Lots of love from Fred & Linda
