We were happy to discover that Nolan's isolette (incubator) top was raised when Kolleen showed up in the NICU Wednesday morning. What this means is that he's doing most of the work to keep warm on his own; he gets a little boost from the radiant element in the raised hood, but not a lot. This is one of the prerequisites for him to be discharged from the NICU.
It also means that the isolette is more like a crib than a George Foreman Grille (ha ha). Seriously though, it's so much more natural and comforting to look down on him than it was to look through the plastic "windows" of his incubator. Praise God for the little victories in Nolan's daily challenges!

Hi Dave and Kolleen; Want you to know we are praying for Nolan. Looks like he is doing well. He is so cute; you must be very proud.

I'm enjoying reading about your little wonder. I will pray that he will continue to thrive and you all will be home together as a family soon.
Love, Sandy

It's nice to know you're staying in touch through this blog. I've had a lot of fun doing it. I only wish I could be more consistent in my postings. It's been hectic but now that Nolan's home I'm hoping to stay on top of it.
Love,
Dave
