Will is coming down off of the dexamethasone a bit, but seems to be holding pretty steady today. The doctors were upbeat about his status, with Dr. Klein going so far as to say he wasn't worried about Will --today, that is, and that is of course still a relative thing. They're always worried about him; just not any more than usual right now. He continues to get 4cc of milk despite a few residuals this morning. Dr. Klein said the 20 grams or so he gained in weight between yesterday and today are likely from tissue growth rather than fluid retention, which is a good sign. As with all optimism about Will, it is guarded and might be short-term as things change from hour to hour or even minute to minute. But we'll take what we can get.
