One Month Old!!

We can't believe Nathan is already one month old!! He has definitely been through a lot in his first month. We are so proud of Nathan and everything he has overcome thus far. We still have a very long road ahead of us, but know Nathan will stay strong and continue to fight.

Nathan has made some good progress since transferring back to St. John's - he is off the ventilator and not requiring much oxygen support, he is back on his feedings and is handling them very well and his overall vitals are stable.

He has also had a lot of tests regarding the pressure on his brain and his continued seizure activity. Nothing has shown concrete results, but Nathan will undergo a MRI tomorrow in order to receive more information as to what exactly is going on in his brain. These results hopefully will give us a clear picture for Nathan's future treatments.

Here are a couple pics of our little guy:

Squinting a bit at the flash on the camera.


Sound asleep in Daddy's arms.

Smiling for his nurse Danielle last night after a bath :)
