MRI Results

Not so great. The doctor noticed some damage to the brain. He is not sure of the extent of it yet, or how it will affect Henry, but he and the neuroligist will meet with the doctor to find out more. They are not sure of when the damage came about, if it caused the ceizure activity, or if the ceizure caused the damage. Same with the color changing- was that a cause or an effect? Im not quite sure what else to say- We are keeping our chins up and our thoughts positive. No matter what happens, we will be the Summers family of 4, and our home will have lots of love and happy times in it. As far as other things that have gone on--- His ventalater has been turned down so that he can do some breathing on his own, his leads have been removed from his head (brain wave readers), and a feeding tube has gone into his nose. So now he is getting real calories and not just fluid. The doctor should be in to talk to us sometime today before 5. I will update then.
