another big day

Athan had another big day today. Attending docs from several specialties have come by - we are getting a sort-of "final once over" from everyone before we start making appointments with everyone to follow up in clinic. It looks like we will be back to see genetics, opthamology, and cardiology in a month or so. Those three are mostly precautions, as well as some more exploratory observation about why this has happened. Our follow-ups for actual treatment will include neurology and endocrinology. Neuro has the potential to be relatively short term, and endocrinology will be our most long-term treatment with Athan.

He nursed well again when he was alert and rested, which was all except the last couple of feedings. He still looks at us with those pretty blue eyes! :)

Ryan and I are doing alright. We had a great dinner at Ronald McDonald House, and got a good nap this evening. We're up here for the midnight care/feeding, then back to rest again. My body continues to heal well, as does Ryan's.

Our love to you all...
