MRI Results

Because Crew was already on a ventilator and sedated because of the surgery, they chose to get the brain MRI done today. They called this afternoon with the promising results. It looked "beautiful"! Yay! They were concerned about his large ventricles, as shown in the ultrasound, particularly the right one. There is evidence of a past brain bleed, previously undetected because of its position. While we don't know if it was stage 1, 2, or 3, we do know that it never reached stage 4, leaking into the surrounding brain tissue, and the current nature of it leads them to believe that this should have no longterm effect on Crew's development. I didn't understand all of the explanation, but I heard "beautiful" and "should have no longterm effects whatsoever" very clearly!
