EEG Results

Joey's EEG (brain wave study) was normal. We thought it would be, but we still are happy to have seizures ruled out at the cause for his drops in heart rate. I got to hold Joey yesterday and he did have one episode where his heart rate and his sats dropped, but not as far and for not as long as they did the day before. He didn't change color and they were able to suction him quickly. They suctioned him before we moved him this time and the nurse and/or the respiratory therapist was there the entire time I was holding him. I didn't hold him for long (about 30 minutes), but I was afraid that the longer I put it off, the more leery I'd be of holding him at all. I brought in his Christmas present all wrapped up, so he'll have it on Monday. It's a little duck that rattles when you shake it and says "quack quack" when you squeeze it's belly, but don't tell Joey what it is. :) Thanks again for all the prayers and concern. We are truly blessed to have such wonderfully supportive family and friends. Please keep the prayers coming for Joey to move and breathe on his own so he can be our little miracle baby.
