Nolan's New Shoes

Buy 'em big, he'll grow into them...

Nolan's Home!

After more than 2 days of feedings without his tube, Nolan was discharged from the hospital this morning. He slept all the way home, had a little lunch, and is now sleeping again :)

Nolan, Ann, and I would like to thank everyone who has kept us in your thoughts & prayers. This whole experience has been amazing, and we feel very blessed to have such caring family & friends.

Nolan is 1 Week Old!

Nolan is no longer on an IV. He's also in a "big boy" bed. It's still just a plastic dish on a metal cart, but at least we can see him & pick him up without reaching through holes or opening a door.

He's pretty much self-sufficient now. He's a little picky about his feedings, so he still has the feeding tube. But they moved it to his nose so he can latch on to mom or his bottle better. He seems to eat well every other feeding. He's too tired in between, so they still gavage feed him (through the tube). Tonight he did good with mom, then had seconds from the bottle! Hungry boy, definitely my son. Hopefully he'll be taking every feeding from mom or the bottle soon!

Nolan also initiated a new nurse today while she was changing his diaper. Apparently Nolan was so explosive, the nurse had to go change her scrubs. Must have been payback for all the IV's and tubes from his first week :) A couple more of those stunts, and they'll be sending him home in no time!

Nolan Gives Early Nod to MSU

Ever since Tom Izzo & Mark Dantonio came to visit, Nolan refuses to wear anything but his State hat. Both coaches have starting positions available for Nolan in 2025.

In a press release yesterday, Coach Dantonio said, "A few months ago, all signs were pointing towards a great place kicker. Now that he's born, I'm thinking offensive tackle."

Coach Izzo noted, "He's 6 weeks early, and still 18 inches long! This kid has a big heart, big attitude, big talent, and even bigger hands. When he gets older, he's going to make Greg Oden look like Gary Coleman."

Atta boy Nolan.
