We got some news today, it's still inconclusive, but it is something. We're still waiting on the majority of the test results, and we should know more by tomorrow, but as of right now, this is what we know...
The results for the EEG showed that Caleb does have some kind of seizure disorder. The question now is whether or not it's a normal seizure disorder that can be controlled with medication, or if his seizures are being triggered by other things. We're hoping and believing for the former. I know it sounds weird, but considering his symptoms and what we're here for, that would be ideal. If this is the case, then he'll have to take medication but he'll be able to live a normal and healthy life. And it could go away at any time. The doctor was really positive about the results so far and said everything is turning out favorably. Now we're just waiting on further tests to rule out the other possibility.
The preliminary report of the MRI showed his brain was developing normally, and the doctor could see no damage or lesions on the brain. Also, he started eating from the bottle tonight, and Christina will try breast feeding tomorrow. So for now, we're just waiting to get the results for the blood tests and the more extensive look at the MRI, which should happen sometime tomorrow. If everything turns out normal, and he continues to eat, they're looking to discharge him on Monday.
Continue to pray for favorable results, healthy eating, and an early discharge. We love you all.
