Day Nine: Brain Ultrasound

Day Nine was the day you had your brain ultrasound. Mommy is kind of a worrier and I have anxiety bad sometimes. Which probably doesn't help my blood pressure at all, remember while you are growing--I am still healing and on medication for that. Anyway, they told me you'd have a brain ultrasound today and I was scared to death. Most preemies, and this is what I've been told--because I am no expert nor do I have a nursing degree, have brain bleeds. Their brains haven't finished growing and the trauma from the early delivery ads an increased chance. Little man, there are 4 levels of brain bleeds in preemies, depending on the severity of the bleed, it will determine future disabilities. So you can imagine my fears and anxieties. When we were finally able to talk to our doctor we were told you have a "Pin Prick" size of a bleed, it was so little, they didn't even classify it as a level. I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father, you have been given a blessing that you would be strong and healthy and this is one of the times I feel the strength of our Father in Heaven and  his promises coming through for us. We are blessed little man. We are so blessed.
