Need Good News Today

Today Lincoln is 30 days old.  This is head-sono-repeat-day.  Incredibly important test today.  A couple of weeks ago, Lincoln was diagnosed with two level 1 brain bleeds.  Head sonos are done on day 1 of life, then day 10, and again at day 30.  Link had an extra one in there after his really really bad couple of days.  It was difficult to know that we had to wait until day 30.  It's finally here!

------------

The results are in: The repeat head sono was..."unremarkable."  When I asked Dr. Pynn if that meant no sign of the bleeds, she read, "There is no definitive proof of brain bleeds."  YAY!!!  Brain bleeds above a level one can lead to developmental delays, blindness, deafness, immobility, and even death.  We are THRILLED!!!!!! that his bleeds are gone!

Excellent news! Funny to think in general we don't like to hear the word "unremarkable" in association with our children. I happen to think Lunk is pretty remarkable. ;-)
