wrap-up for today

Athan has been fed twice via a feeding tube, and seems to be tolerating it well. If that continues, the lines through his belly button are closer to coming out. He is still too sedated to take a bottle. His blood pressure is still steady, and his breathing is steady, too.

Doctors checked his eyes today, and his optic nerve is small. We don't know what that means right now, but will hopefully hear more about it soon.

The second EEG looked much like the first, but we still don't have any good explanation about what it means. Neurology still wants an MRI, which may be able to happen soon now that he is more stable.

We will update again when we can tomorrow. Love to you all and goodnight.
