After being unable to get in touch with Kim today, I started to get a 'bad feeling'. This bad feeling was confirmed at around 1 PM today when Phil called to tell us that the latest sonogram of Zoe's head shows that, at the location of the previous bleeding, there was now a spot/bruise/clot that could/may/might cause no/some/major issues in the future. With concrete facts like that it is easy to see why parents in similar circumstances go 'a little nuts'.All that was certain was that a 'spot' on the brain is never a good thing and that it is a potentially serious setback for Zoe.
The WMH NICU staff were somber today, and while they tried to put the best 'face' on things, there was a marked decrease in their enthusiasm level. They did try to preface everything with factoids like; ZAC is eating well, her digestive track is back up to par, she is breathing mostly on her own... Yet this new crisis hangs in the air like a pallor of doom. The hospital's prescribed course of action (under Phil & Kim's consultation) is to do nothing and wait until next week and retest via the ultrasound machine.
Well, that might be fine for WMH but it is most assuredly not enough for me. Over the past 20 days I have been living in a state of awe and have been undeservedly privileged to witness the sheer and magnificent power of God and how He condescends to the simple, heartfelt and earnest prayers of his people, and it is to this end that I again call forth the 'team' that have assembled to watch His hand in action and I again plead for prayers for Zoe's brain and the dissolution of this clot.
