I remember quoting Gilda Radner a few months back, "It's always something". Hopefully this new something will turn out to be a nothing. They are concerned about the size of Dinky's head. His head circumference is out of proportion with the rest of him. That, and the fact that the soft spot in the back of his head has not closed like it should have a few months ago. They did a head ultrasound today and we should get the results tomorrow. Needless to say tonight will be restless night. I met with the neonatologist today that will follow Dinky at discharge and she said it's fairly common for preemies to have fluid between their skull and brain that's benign, they just have to grow out of it. If it has to be something, hopefully that will be the case. We will definitely let you know.

Other than that he had a good day today. He was discussed at the discharge meeting today for the first time! They are anticipating a week to a week and a half!! The wheels are definitely in motion. Stay tuned...
