My Last Trimester in Rome

What a Difference a Week Makes...

We went tonight - Monday night here - to see Nicolas and talk to the doctor. He is out of the critical area and now in the room where the other babies are that are on a feeding tubes...the room before they get to be on bottles. The doctor say he has made tremendous progress in just one week. He is off of everything except the feeding tube. He just needs to gain wieght and we can go home!!

The inflammation in his brain responded well to the drug and continues to go down. It will take one more week to completely tell how much, The doctor feels if this continues and no cyst or scar occurs in this area, he will be fine. So we just have to wait and see that he is alright but everything looks good so far. we just need to keep it up. John and I were able to hold him for the first time tonight and we each were able to change his diaper once too. It was a great day. I really feel like a parent today.

Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I just now have to find housing for January so I hope an apartment shows up.
