The allergist stopped by yesterday to test Nathan for allergies related to his hives/swelling last week. Nothing showed any reaction except for histamines (the test control substance). There is a chance that the Zantac in his TPNs are affecting the test results, but they feel comfortable substituting safflower oil for his lipids. They're going to start it soon, no schedule yet.

Christa has been working with Nathan to slowly build up his strength and maneuverability. He's able to walk short distances on his own, and has been getting plenty of "exercise". We expect he'll be home in a couple weeks, but nothing is certain yet. He still needs to start absorbing more nuitrition and put on some weight.

I grabbed a few pictures with my iPhone over the last week. Enjoy.
