a long night

Athan had an eventful night last night. His sugars/stats were steady all night, so none of the events were alarming in that regard. After his midnight feeding, we had to go downstairs for the abdominal ultrasound (checking his kidneys/bladder). Then at 3 a.m. his IV port in his foot got read and irritated, so we had to switch to the port in his head. When that started bugging him, he swung an arm up and knocked it out. So we had to take that one off as well (which includes pulling tape off of his hair - yuk). Then this morning about 6, he had to have another IV put in. Athan is kinda tough to get an IV started on, so it took a couple of tries. But one of the ladies from NICU came and worked her magic - so his IV is back in and not bugging him. He ate well and is resting now. He is going to be the toughest kid ever.

I'll update again after rounds.

It's hard to know what to say, especially in a damned comment box, on a blog filled with comments left by people who know you better, but I just updated myself on Athan's situation, and I wish this could all be over for you. I'm praying that it will be. I hope to see you soon.
