Avery's testing

Thanks to all who have sent well-wishes and prayers Avery's way. Her blood and urine tests came back looking pretty good. Monday evening's ultrasound of her brain was cancelled by the radiologist. He thought that an MRI would be a better test for what Dr. Deutsch is looking for. Tonight at 9 p.m. Avery had the MRI done at Rockford Memorial Hospital. Dr. Deutsch (and us) wanted it done without sedation and it was a success. I got to go in the room with her and she did not move a bit. I guess that's one bonus of having a sleepy baby. She is perking up a bit, though. Her feeds are going a bit smoother (and quicker) and she is sending things out the other end on her own, too. She still needs to be awakened to eat, but also gives us wonderful awake, calm, and alert time. She is, as of today, back to her birth weight of 7 lbs. 10 oz.!!!! Go Avery!!! Tomorrow she goes for a weigh-in at the Pediatrician's and I'm sure he'll be pleased with her progress. On Friday she sees Dr. Deutsch and hopefully we'll have the MRI results by then. Please keep the prayers coming. Thank you.
