Wonderful News!
Just before leaving the hospital late this afternoon, the nurse practitioner came in with the results from Truman's neural scan this morning. He has a Grade 1 bleed in the left ventricle, which is small enough that it should have little to no ramifications and should resolve itself over time. The right ventricle does not have any bleed at all!
This is the best news that we could have possibly hoped for. Now, Truman should have a chance to be a normal little boy someday (assuming that his parents don't screw him up too much).
Every stage of this NICU process will be bringing its own challenges, but today Truman managed to clear a couple of really big hurdles. Today has been a very good day.
Thank you, everyone, for your continued support.

To Truman: We have been wholly, totally, and completely consumed with you,"tiny Truman", since your arrival. What a precious gift you have become to us all. We have witnessed the manifestation of God's love, power, grace, mercy, and glory in you. You are a survivor, and God's calling on your life is special. Already, lives have been changed in some way forever, through you. God is alive, well, and "real". We will love you always. Great Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Steve
Just heard about the early arrival. I am so pleased to hear that Truman is a fighter and things are going well considering the circumstances. It makes me realize how fortunate I am to be having an uneventful pregnancy. We will miss you at book club but know that we will be keeing yall in our thoughts and prayers.
