Nate Update

9/29 Update from his Mom:

"The doctors have decided to give Nate some meds in his line that would possibly get rid of the infection, so he can keep his current line. He really needs to have a central line to get all his meds, it would take many IVs for him to get everything he needs. He will have another echocardiogram on Thursday morning. They feel confident the antibiotics he is on currently are addressing the infection. We are praying that the test tomorrow shows the infection gone, as well as Nate's heart in good shape. The doctors increased his pain meds and he has really felt some relief. He is sleeping a lot, but we are very thankful he isn't hurting so much. Thank you for your prayers!!!

Nate is not the only one, please remember all these kiddos who are so sick and the doctors and nurses who care for them daily."

9/30 Update from his Mom:
"The echocardiogram showed that the growth on the end of Nate's line is gone. We are very happy that he will be able to keep the line. He also has a white count starting. It is very low, and he is still very sick, but I am celebrating each small victory!!! He seems to be on track at this point. Today is a good day!!!"
