I think a lot about how to help Nathaniel understand and engage with the world and how to help the world understand Nathaniel. In this light, Halloween has been troubling me.

Nathaniel was discharged from PICU to home last Friday. We were encouraged to return to our normal respiratory care regiment: three breathing treatments and two airway clearance treatments per day.

After offering our full arsenal of treatments, oxygen support, and a trip back to emergency, Nathaniel just yesterday settled back into his normal respiratory care without oxygen.
