We arrived at the NICU this evening and finally heard what we were waiting on all day - Evan's brain scan came back all clear! Andrew and I both had huge sighs of relief. The cysts also remained unchanged. Such great news.
Evan's bilirubin lights were upped to level 2. I think this was done as a precaution as well as they started him on Indocin (to hopefully fix the PDA). His feet are a little swollen but the doctors said they would just monitor them overnight. The swollen feet may be a side effect from the medication though.
We're still elated from the clear brain scan. I know it has been hanging over our heads. The next one will be in a week unless something happens that would make them need to do it earlier.
Evan should sleep well tonight. He has a teddy from Great Gramma Wheeler in his bed now. My Red Teddy went everywhere with me even to college. He now resides next to my shoes. :) I know Evan will look forward to snuggling his very own teddy.
