The neurosurgeon came in this morning. Then four other teaching faculty came by. The neonatologist checked on him. The nurses reported in. Everyone conferred. Here's the bottom line as it was read off to me from the doctor's (almost illegible) chart: "Continue to observe." So, that's what we'll do. Observe. Wait. Pray. Monday they'll do another head ultrasound to see if any CSF (cerebro spinal fluid) is building up on the brain. From my unstudied opinion, it doesn't seem like Paton's swelling on his back is getting any larger. And they haven't seen any CSF leaking from it. So, all is in a waiting pattern. He's feeding only from a bottle now, as they want to move him as little as possible. Tough to take a bottle with his head turned about a 90 degree angle! After all the neurosurgeons are paid off, I'm going to have to start on the chiropractor. :)
God has been good. Looking forward to praising Him tomorrow. Jen will stay here with Paton.

Amen to that John. God has been good. Everyone at my church was asking for the latest update today on Paton. I told them what I knew and we once again lifted you all up in prayer. As you stated, if his lesion on his back isn't getting larger that's a very good thing! Praise the Lord for that! Today's sermon at church was out of Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Take care and God bless.
