"Continue to Observe"

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.
