Samuel celebrated his 1st monthday today and had a CT scan to look at the amount of brain that has developed. The neonatalogist grabbed me as soon as he saw me and asked Kristy and I to come with him to look at the CT. He said he has never seen anything like this before and used words like amazing and phenomenal. This is also the same doctor that was using the word vegetative three weeks ago. Samuel had .5 cm of brain matter around the rim of his skull before the shunt and he now has 2.25 cm. He also has an almost complete forebrain and almost all of the right side of his brain and is missing a portion of his left side. He will be taken off IV nutrition tomorrow and feeding entirely off of Kristy's milk. We are hoping that he can have the shunt placed on Friday. God is good.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Eph 3:20
