Exhaustion

This past week is really taking a toll on Amanda and me. We've both been through a tremendous amount of stress, anxiety and lack of sleep. On top of that, Amanda's has some major physical trials in giving birth then leaving the hospital early. As a result, we're really out of it of late. We hope to be back on top of our game sometime soon.

But enough about us. Nathaniel (he'll be Nathan or Nate or Nat (I don't think Amanda likes "Nat") soon enough, but he's Nathaniel for now) was looking fine today. Like I said, he opened his eyes earlier when I visited. Since then, he's been dropping a bunch of excess fluids he was given during surgery. They think they can take him off the ventilator/respirator tomorrow, perhaps. Everything is progressing well. If we're lucky, he might even be out of the intensive care ward by early next week.
