Well, the Neurologist came in last night around 9:30. To make a long story short he basically said that there was some minor displaced fluid in Elias' head. So, he wants to do an MRI to get a better look at whats going on..He explained to us that there is a drainage system in our brain taking all the fluid that needs to be moved away from the brain. His concern was that there might be some sort of "leak" in his drainage system. Though, he was not so concerned that we need to do the MRI here at the hospital. We will make an appointment with him in a few weeks to get it done. He wants him to get over all the trauma from being in the hospital, and to be healthy and infection free. They have to sedated him for this, and as we all know that is always risky no matter what size you are. (I am very nervous about this)
So......now we wait.... We are still in the hospital waiting for his attending doctor to come in and release us. I don't see any other reason for us to be here. He is still getting IV antibiotics, though they will start him on oral antibiotics for his ear infections when we go home. The nurse said all the blood cultures have so far come back negative. PLEASE pray that we leave today! It is like we are in a little cave, poor Elias is so bored, and he needs good sleep!!! Every few hours they came in last night and messed with him, and of course he screamed about it! My baby is so sleepy!
Prayer Request: That we leave today, and that when we go to do the MRI there is absolutely nothing wrong with my son's brain. I don't care what they saw here on the Cat Scan. I HAVE TO believe that God has already taken care of this mess.
Thank you all for praying, we love you! More updates to come soon...
sweet friend we are lifting you up... please kiss elias on the lips for me :) :) i love you dearly.
