We got some cautiously positive news from the NICU doc today. After an EKG, EEG, and a cranial ultrasound, and after monitoring all his various readings, the doctor told us that, if he continues to hold steady where he is, the damage (if any) will probably be classified as mild. He continued to say that mild-damage patients are the ones who respond best to the cooling blanket.
Obviously, we're not out of the woods yet, and he's going to need a transfusion today, but I'm so relieved right now. i confirmed with the nurse, and clarified that this mainly means that, barring setbacks, major damage to the brain is looking less and less likely. Even this little bit of news gives us so much hope.
