One of Those Days
So its day 15 of Bryce's life. We got the test results I was worried about and it seems they are not as good as I was hoping. Bryce's PDA (open valve) in his heart has not closed like we had hoped. They are going to try one more round of medication and if this doesn't work the he will have to have surgery and that could be as early as next Monday.... Also his head ultrasound was not great either. The bleed on the left side of his brain that he has had since birth IS starting to go away a little BUT now he has ANOTHER bleed on the right side of his brain which is not good. This is something they will continue to watch, so for right now they aren't doing anything about it but watching. He will have another scan done on Monday. I guess right now all we can do is pray. On a good note he did have a decent day, only 2 Desats not bad for a preemie, and his O2 level is still about the same which is good that it didn't have to go up. The same or down is good. Also because Bryce is behaving for the time being the docs haven't had to sedate him lately which is another good thing because babies can get addicted to that stuff, so we don;t want him sedated as much as possible. So for anyone who is willing all we ask is that you keep praying for him, it seems to be the only thing getting us through right now. Thanks!

I just found your blog and I wanted to say hang in there! I had a 24 weeker too and it's a long journey. Noah's almost 2 now and is doing great. Good luck!
Hi Erika, Stevie, Nicole, and Faith
Just want to drop you a line and let you know we are thinking of you. Frankie told me he talked to you at the hospital last week. He is beautiful!! He seems to be doing as well as can be expected. He has allot of work to do, growing out in the big world instead of in your belly..... You are in our prayers. Keep writing so we can keep up to date on his condition. Don't forget to take care of yourself too!!! It must be hard not having him home and not being able to hold him all the time but you need to keep your strength up!!!
