10/5 - Another Day

Greetings from the parking lot!  We had a good/confusing day.  I saw Dr. Nagy (neurosurgeon) first thing this morning and he said everything looked good.  Then I saw Dr. Sutter (neonatologist) and she thought his head looked swollen.  ????  Then this evening my nurse did the measurement and it was the same it has been the past three days.  So who knows.  As far as I know...things are good.  Toby also had some renal tests ran today.  People with S.B. tend to have bladder/bowel issues so he has a urologist and he wanted to see what was going on down there.  We haven't heard anything back yet as to what the thinks.  I got to feed Toby "the natural way" today.  It was very special.  They took him off of his food restriction so he was very satisfied to eat that way plus get more from a bottle.  We could not even get him up for his 9 pm feeding.  He seemed so happy and comfortable when I left a second ago.  A small concern is Toby has developed a little sleep apnea.  His oxygen drops during his deep sleep so they say he stops breathing for a few moments and then starts back up again.  They said its not a huge thing to worry about unless his heart-rate starts to drop.  So here are my prayer requests:  hydrocephalus stays controlled, apnea problem goes away so that we can come home Friday, and that urology report comes back good.  Also, there are so many parents in NICU that I have been thinking about.  I always wonder if they have the same support system we have.  I hope that they do, but I always want to lift them up as well.  As always thank you for lifting Toby up in prayer.  Night all!
