Friday,... the BIG report we were waiting on...

Friday... Nov 9

I can honestly say, though there has been some nailbiting all day, I have been at peace. I know God is doing great things,... His mercies are new every morning...

So, Kyle had the big rescan of his head today. This morning, right about the time we walked in, the Sonogram guy walked in. We knew exactly what he was about to do, so we began to pray even more, one last time before he put that scanner to work.

Then, doctors came in for rounds. They told us among other things, that the report probably wouldn't be in until around 3 pm, which then jokingly turned into 4 pm, so then I added "5 pm..." I was closer. We began to wait, and wait and wait and wait

and wait some more. Finally, the report came in.

The blood was still there, however, has begun to organize to be reaborbed. In fact, the report even said, mildly resolved, which means that process has already begun! This is what we have been praying for!
They stayed at grade 3's on both sides, but there was reason and room for encouragement. There is one area that Dr Lopez will be talking about with one of her collegues who is specialized in the field of neurology, but even Dr. Lopez was encouraged and pleased with this news.

I had to take some alone time today to get alone and say thank You to God. (sadly, the only place to really do this is the bathroom. haha...)

God is good.

We begin praying now that there will be no long term damage from the bleeds, and that God will continue to work in allowing that blood to be reabsorbed very quickly.

Tonight, would you first and foremost take time
to Thank God for His goodness and His blessing
in this area.

Then, would you please pray that Kyle would not develope something called PVL from this area that Dr. Lopez is still concerned about.
Please keep praying for Kyle's lungs.
Pray for better respiration.
Pray that fluid will be drained off of Kyle quickly.
Pray Kyle rests and grows tonight and that
his feedings would continue to go well.
Pray that his clot would continue to evaporate and dissolve to nothing.
Pray that Kyle's PDA won't act up, and that God
will close it.


Kyle ins't "out of any woods" yet, but GOD IS WORKING!!!! We are tired, but so very encouraged
and so very thankful tonight.

Kyle is very irritable today. He won't tolerate any stimulation whatsoever, even taking his temp under his arm sets him off and he desaturates in his breathing very quickly... so pray that Kyle would rest well and that he would be more tolerable to the assessments they have to do, etc. We want to keep his vent settings low!

Thanks so much for your prayers and please know your encouragement means so much to Kelly and me both!

more later...

After I get home, I will try and write a new journal entry where I will try and outline all Dr Lopez said, and what she thinks all this could mean for Kyle's developement.
