When we visited Paige Friday, we had even more good news to celebrate--first, she took her first bottle feeding, and Mommy got to feed it to her. It was gone in no time, followed by a very full diaper!
The second bit of good news was the MRI report...Dr. Gelfand, one of Paige's neonatologists and our personal favorite, listened in on the dictation so he could get the results to us as soon as possible. The scan was good, except for one "tiny" area that could possibly cause delayed motor function in her legs. At the most, she might need braces or physical therapy, and might take longer to walk. But as of right now, the tone and movement in her legs is great, and the brain just might grow right over tiny little problem spot.
Paige did have another drop in her platelets, so she got another transfusion on Friday. Dr. Gelfand is considering sending her blood along with both of ours out to a lab in Wisconsin to check for a more rare clotting disorder.
Hopefully Paige will continue to tolerate feedings, and her labs will stay stable, so we can get her home in about a week or so!
