Steve & I were quite surprised this morning when we received a phone call from Children's informing us Nathan would be transferred back to St. John's this afternoon. Both hospitals were eager to keep Nathan, but St. John's won in the end. Children's didn't want to give him up, but there was nothing Children's was administering that St. John's couldn't do, so we are back to our original home away from home :)
Our short experience at Children's was nothing but positive and they accepted us and especially Nathan with open arms. We were able to stay overnight there with Nathan right before his surgery and be with him almost non-stop. We are so happy everything went well and we are now back to getting better!!
Nathan is settled again at St. John's and Mom & Dad are back to a bit more familiarity. Nathan will continue to be monitored and on a daily basis, he will undergo a procedure to relieve the pressure on his brain. The same head ultrasounds will be used to help determine the level of fluid that still resides and how to proceed forward.
We are glad to be back closer at home and to get back to our chaotic routine :) We would like to thank Pa Pa and Gigi for taking care of Andrew this ENTIRE week, while Mom & Dad focused on Nathan. We are so grateful for everyone's continued support!!

I just wanted to send our prayers and thoughts to your family in the hopes that Nathan will grow healthier and stronger each and every day. I spoke to Ryan O'Connell at work, and he passed along the link to your blog. You have a beautiful family and your boys could not be cuter. We are pulling for you guys. After reading through the posts, I can tell you have a wonderful support system. We will keep you in our thoughts.

Steve and Nicole-
Stay strong during this tough time! St. John's will take great care of your precious Nathan. He is adorable and has shown to be a little fighter! It breaks my heart that you have to go through this. The ups and downs are so emotionally draining, but like we were always told one step backwards, two steps forward. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Love, The Amanns
