Athan had continued to do well breathing on his own today. His heart is also doing well – his blood pressure is holding steady without the aid of any medications. The doctors are confident that there is no infection, so he is also off of all of the antibiotics. The next step is to see if he will tolerate breast milk via a bottle or a feeding tube. If he does, the feeding line through his belly button can come out. When that line is out and we're sure the belly button is not going to bleed, we can hold him!
We will give updates on his glandular issues soon, as well as how his feeding is progressing. We'll also post a pic soon without the breathing tube!

Hi, I am Meredith's mother. I have been so touched by Athan's condition. I am glad to be able to keep in touch via this blog. I want you to know that your son is in the hearts and prayers of many people. He is such a precious gift and I am sure he will soon be in your arms. Be strong for him.
