Thank you very much!

I just got this amazing game and got my first rocket into orbit. I didn't have enough fuel to bring it ouf of the orbit back down to Kerbin, but I was able to get the periapsis to be inside Kerbin's atmosphere (around 48,000m right now). My question is will the atmosphere take energy out of the orbit and eventually bring the rocket back down to the planet, Or is my tiny rocket doomed?

I didn't have enough fuel to get it out of this orbit to land back down, but I was able to get the periapsis of the orbit into the Kerbin atmosphere (48,000m right now). My question is since the rocket passes through the atmosphere will this take energy out of the orbit until eventually my rocket comes back down?
