as you can see, we got to hold him! :) The lines came out of his tummy just fine, and when we got back from lunch he was clothed, swaddled, and ready to be held! Ryan and I both got to hold him for a while. I also got to help change his diaper and clothes. He pooped and peed all over my hands, and I was so excited! Parents are weird that way.
He also took a bottle, so the feeding tube came out. He will have to be sedated for the MRI and will have to use the tube again while he is out. But otherwise he gets bottles, and when his fluids are regulated and blood sugar is steady, we can try nursing again.
Now we can be here for every care/feeding to help with bottles, diapers, and clothes.
Another test result came back that confirmed that there is no infection, and they turned down the rate of the medicine for his adrenal gland.

Athan just had his first bottle. He took it fast. I think he got his eating skills from his Uncle Jeremy.
Ryan, Amber, Morgan, and Athan,
