Day 13

Today is our son's thirteenth day in the NICU, and we finally got the results of his second head sonogram.  Fortunately, the hemorrhage has not gotten worse.  Unfortunately, it has not gotten any better, either.  It is still only on the left side of his head, and only a grade one.  So now, we give it more time, and do yet another sonogram in two weeks.  I'm trying to stay positive, but I was really hoping for slightly better news. 

But, it has not gotten worse, so for that, we are unbelievably thankful!  I know full well that God is capable of healing our son, and am praying that He does.  But I also understand that He may not heal him, and I have to be okay with that too.  I trust Him, no matter what.   

Other than the sonogram, not much has changed.  He is still on his CPAP, eating 26 ml of milk every three hours, and is breathing well on 21% oxygen.  He is, however, finally beginning to gain weight, and is now a whopping 3 pounds, 1.5 ounces.   

Thank you so much for your continued prayers!  We and our son appreciate it more than you know!
