Will had a brain ultrasound today - and the unofficial reports are in! No bleeding was found! This is such awesome news. I have been reading about micro preemies and bleeding on the brain is something they worry about.
Aside from this test, he also had his echocardiogram and those results will hopefully be in tomorrow. He had another good day today. His dose of dopamine is down, oxygen is at 25% which is really good, his blood pressure is stable... what more could we ask for? He also tolerated all of his assessments today and avoided any "episodes" of his heart rate dropping. I was really worried about how he would fair through his tests today and he was a champ!
His skin is translucent right now, so we can see underneath the skin. During his blood transfusion yesterday you could actually see the blood flowing through his veins. He looks like he has great color, but that is really just the flesh under the skin. They want to start seeing his skin wrinkle up and it is. This tells them that he is not as swollen or edemic as he was after he was born.
We are so happy with his current state. At this point, we really could not ask for better results. Our evening visit was so enjoyable. To see him making such strides is really a miracle right before our eyes.
Please continue to keep Will in your thoughts and prayers, he is counting on all of us to be strong.
