Collin's cranial ultrasound showed no change.. He is stable for now. The Dr.'s will keep a close eye on him by measuring the circumference of his head and he will get another ultrasound in 24 hrs. The bleed that he had on the left side ventricle is essentially blocking the flow of spinal fluid from his brain through spinal chord and back up. Since there was no change in size by ultrasound, that means the fluids are flowing enough to keep it stable. The worry is that the flow could stop and cause a fluid build up and pressure. We are hoping that the blood will reabsorb and no longer cause an obstruction. This can happen, but it is unlikely that it will happen quickly enough because it was a significant size bleed. If there is a change in size on his next ultrasound they will most likely send him to Boston for treatment. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he stays stable, and will fix this problem quickly!
The blood in the belly issue is all settled now.. it was definitely just irritation from the feeding tube. They pulled it back slightly so it's not so deep into his stomach. He has not shown any other signs of irritation, so he is able to start feedings again today :)
He looks very happy today, and was making very cute little sounds as he had the hiccups :)
My little Punkin' head :) Definitely praying for the Lord to clear this up and continue to improve Collin's health! Love you guys.
