Hello Friends and Family,
I thought it was time to retire from Carepages and start a webpage all about Nate and how much better he is doing on a daily basis. It is also alot easier to post pictures here. Some days are better than others and I thought this might be a good way to express what we are feeling, a type of therapy. A friend told Scott this weekend some really good advice. He said that when you are having a tough time, think back two or three weeks and see how far Nate has come. This blog will let us do that.
Things have been going well recently. Nate has been off oxygen for two weeks now and we are loving it. It is so nice to be able to pick him up and carry him around the room without thinking about getting tangled in a cord. He is also taking his bottle alot better since he no longer has the oxygen in his nose. The milk he takes is thickened since he aspirates when he takes normal milk. It is like a milkshake and takes alot of energy to take down so he still gets some of his feedings through his feeding tube. We will go back in October to see if he is still aspirating. Keep your fingers crossed.
Here are some pics of Nate over the past couple of weeks. Go to http://taprootphotography.com/blog/ to see some more pictures of Nate. This is the photographer's blog. Scroll down and you will see one titled "Little Miracle."

He is so beautiful! In one picture I was certain that he was your little "mini me" Julia and then he looked just like Scott's "mini me!" :) You guys are so blessed!!!!
