We've finally heard back about the MRI, and the news is very encouraging! The hemangiomas on the brain have not grown and currently there is not concern about pressure on the brain. The largest hemangioma (on the liver) is, in fact, SMALLER. We don't know details about how much, but it's very good news regardless. They haven't really discussed any of the others (lots of various sizes inside and outside), but they are of less concern because they shouldn't be causing any real damage anyway...just doing what they do.
In other good news, she seems to be over the premie concerns (namely jaundice and eating). She had spent a few days under the lights (for jaundice) last week, but has been off since Saturday morning. The numbers on that are pretty good and continue to improve...helped by her being a little piglet. :) She's still eating like a champ, starting to gain weight, and Mark is proud of the progressively heftier diapers...which he is changing like a pro. :) All this means they will be moving us OUT of the NICU and into a regular room as soon as one is available! In hospital time, that means today or tomorrow most likely, but we're thrilled regardless.
Thanks again (and some more) for the prayers and on and on. Please pray for continued improvement for Aida, rest/patience/peace for all of us and for me as Mom goes home on Wednesday! :( She will have been here 2 weeks, so it should be a bit of an adjustment! David and Terri will be coming in effectively Friday to take on their shift helping to keep it all rolling.
