Ultrasound Results

Texas Children's did the test today. The left side of the brain scored a '0' which is the best it can score. The right side of the brain scored a '1.' The scale runs from 0-4. 0 means nothing is wrong, 1-2 means it might be okay, and 3-4 is not good. The right side of the brain has some bruising on it and that is why it scored a '1.' The doctor doesn't seemed to be concerned at this time. They will run another test on Friday, July 17 to see if there is any improvement. The doctor doesn't want to do anything invasive at this time as it may harm the brain even more. It sounded like this was kind of normal with preemies. The doctor will again check the brain at seven weeks of age.

Thanks for the many prayers!
