The results from Colby's ultrasound came back and he is still rating a low 3 out of 4 on the scale they use. The doctor said that one of the ventricles where they saw the blood had a tiny bit of swelling, but he wasn't very concerned. He also said that the neurologist saw a spot on the ultrasound that could be a cyst on the back of his brain. He thinks that it is an artifact (what they call a shadow) but he wants to see the ultrasound next week to be sure. We praise the Lord that the bleeding wasn't worse. Please continue to pray that the swelling will go down and what the neurologist saw on the ultrasound was just a shadow.
Other than that he is about the same as he was yesterday. His BP and his oxygen levels still continue to fluctuate, but he is stable. They are still hoping to get the dopamine weened down so they can start feeding him. It seems like every time they get it down to a low dosage he acts up and they have to give him more. It looks like he his going to be stubborn like his daddy. He is back down to 1lb 13oz and if they can get the rest of the weight he gained in fluid off of him that will probably help the oxygen levels.
Please pray with us for these specific concerns. Thank you all for your continued support.
