Tuesday, 9/20

I tell ya, our days go from held breath to sighs of relief. Overall, the ultrasound was good. It does show a little bit of fluid between his brain and skull, and his ventricles are mildly enlarged, but nothing that requires any further attention. They'll just keep an eye on it. An MRI would really give us a better idea of any damage his brain might have suffered, but it's better just to watch him than risk sedating him and possibly having to intubate him for that test. His smiles, nosiness, and sociability are all good signs.

As for the swallow test, the first try was a no-go. He started crying and they were worried he'd aspirate the liquid so we'll try again this afternoon.
