Athan had another pretty good night. His stats stayed up, his glucose is still good, and they've upped his amount of milk per feeding again. They thought there might have been some unusual activity in his movement and facial expression sometime between 3 and 3:30 this morning, so they will probably have another neuro. consult just to make sure it wasn't a significant episode.
We've tried to nurse, but he just still seems to sedated to latch on. He certainly shows interest, but I think he just realizes Mom is holding him, relaxes, and goes to sleep. So we push his feeding through his tube while I hold him and let him rest. I really think once he is alert and more rested, he'll nurse with no problem.
Ryan and I rested pretty well last night. Papa Sid, Nana Lena, Grammy Tammy, Morgan, and Josh McCrary just left here to fly back west. It was tough to see them leave, and tougher still to tell any one of them how thankful we are and how much we love them. And thanks to the many of you who have helped with so much so that they could all be here with us for so long. Tim, Master's Staff, Brent, and more - thanks for carrying so much for them and for us.
Ryan's bringing me some food, and we're waiting for morning rounds. After rounds and his next feeding, we'll try to post an update before we grab lunch.

Hey, guys! Just wanted you to know that there are lots of people in Central Texas praying for you. Noah was so excited on Sunday when he was chosen to be a prayer partner in kid's church. He and all his friends prayed for Athan together. We know you'll all be home soon!
Love,
J.J., Lee, Noah, and Cameron
Good Morning,
Just wanted to let you know how much we love you and are thinking about you. There are so many people here in the Austin area that you don't even know praying for your precious Athan and for your sweet family.
I know it must have been very difficult to see the grandparents and Morgon leave this morning; however, it is so apparent where you get your strength. You both are am inspiration to so many of us as we watch you "walk your talk."
Thank you for the updates. We will continue to lift you up in our prayers. We love you more that words can express.
