Wonderful Day


We Received really good results today from the head ultra sound that they did yesterday! We were really excited to hear that the bleeding in Drew's left ventricle has subsided and that he is slowly breaking down the dead cells without complicating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. The nurse practitioner explained that the bleeding Drew experienced early on shouldn't have any long term affects on his development. This was great news to us and we know that Drew has been extremely blessed. We are aware that he has many more hurdles and that he is at risk for complications due to his prematurity but we feel that Drew is doing well and we are grateful for his progress. His lungs are still very immature and it is going to require some time and patience for his lungs to improve. Drew has started on Mommy's milk again, they had stopped feeding him due to some motility difficulties but he seems to be digesting better now. We love Drew so so so much, he is our little miracle.
