Well, Zac had a busy day today. He had an EKG and an MRI, plus had blood drawn for the two tests they are going to run. He did very, very well and they were particularly happy with how well he handled the MRI. It made the process go as quickly as it possibly could.
Now we just wait for results of the bloodwork and the other scans. Hopefully we'll only have to wait until Monday on the one for the metabolism question. However, Katy and I are confident all will be well, but please the doctors care enough to want to be absolutely sure he's just fine. While having dinner tonight with Nell, the father of another boy here in the NICU stopped to talk to us for a bit. His boy shares Zac's birthday and was born at about the same number of weeks. It occurred to us that there are probably plenty of children who are born full term who have little things like this going on but nobody knows about it because they aren't being watched so closely like they are in the NICU.
That said, the nurses are very good about trying to reassure the parents that things will be OK and that the tests are precautionary. Aside from that, they have upped his feedings to give him more calories. The hope is that by sometime tomorrow, they may be able to pull him off the i.v. Woohoo! Sorry no pics again tonight. That thing is still in his head so we'll hold off for now.
