Nate, thanks for the Blog. I couldn't read it all in one shot.
Charlene and I are keeping you and yours in our prayers.
Take care of Brook and the other 2 children.
I once did some research on being a husband and father and found that it is our nature to be fixers. That is good and as it should be.
However, there are some things that have to be turned over to God and the Professionals. Have Faith and spend your efforts and emotions on the people that you can help. Admittedly, this is like saying "Don't think of pink elephants".
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP

Positive thoughts and prayers from N'ville, Nate.
Don't know Drakes particulars, but my partners son had a significant ventricular bleed at birth 15 years ago-sharpest kid you'd ever come across today. Newborns are blessed with tremendous resilience.

Jeff and Ricki are sending your our prayers and love. As you might remember JWHAP worked in NICU for the majority of her 30 years as a nurse. You are in good hands Natester - I can personally attest that NICU staff are great people.
Thank you for posting the information on your blog. We appreciate the update.
If there is anything your pond boss family can do please let us know.

Jeff, I can picture Ricki being an incredible NICU nurse. The entire staff here has been excellent. Very kind, compassionate and understanding. It seems like they only employ the best of the best down in this unit.

Today the doctor was smiling when we went in for our meeting. He cut right to the chase and before I even sat down he said he had some great news for us!! Ultra sound last night showed some great improvement on the bleeding and his brain and spinal fluid look to be doing great! platelet counts have been doing great too. Doctors cant quite figure out how all this is turning out so good so fast, but I can sure tell you that Brook and I have felt the prayers of many and I know Drake has too.
Still will be here for awhile, but we are very encouraged at the moment!

Whatever you need, just let us know.
Whatever is needed.

Drake is doing great. Still got some more tests to come over the next couple days and MRI results to come back today. If all goes well we could be home on Friday with little to know future health problems or ramifications. If all doesnt go well with the tests he will be hooked up to an IV for 6 weeks and will be injected with glanciclovir every 12 hours. Right before the MRI. They had to sedate him, cause last time he was not cooperative. Just hanging out:

Make sure to stretch the toe to get that extra inch.

I have plenty of time on my hands just sitting at the hospital for 15 hours per day. Even found a somewhat hidden wireless signal I tapped into on Justins mac. My pc doesnt even know the signal exists.
The hospital already has their own relative weight charts here, seems they are a couple years ahead of us fish guys. They go by percentiles though, up to 100%.

I have run a check on the origin/meaning of given names in norse/celtic Drake in norse orgin from Drakin meaning the dragon in celtic it has the same but can also mean duck. Allan in norse orgin from Alan meaning litle cliff (cliff as in rock/mountain) in celtic it has the same but can also mean harmony handsome and kind.
Sure name Herman orgin from Hær(army) Mann(man) meaning armyleader soldier or man of the army both in norse and celtic
All good strong names
My best wiches for you all
PAUL
