Brody and Colby

I wish I was writing tonight to let everyone know the answers to our seizure questions.... Unfortunately, that is not the case. Colby has probably had more tests run on him today than many of us have experienced in a life time. In fact as I sit in our room tonight there is a real good chance he is being transported from the NICU to get an MRI done on his head. As of 12:40 AM we still do not have any additional info or insight regarding the cause of his seizures.

Unfortunately, they have not miraculously stopped either. Apparently he experienced one this afternoon during one of the test and another one earlier tonight around 7:30. The good news is that he is in the right place to get help.... the bad news is that they still aren't sure why he is having them.....

On a brighter note I thought I would share a couple of photos of Big Brother Brody seeing pictures of his new little brother for the first time as well as a photo of Brody with the present Colby got him for becoming a new big brother. As low as the emotions have dipped over the past 36 hours can't express the highs of the emotions when Brody came to visit the hospital this afternoon. It was so good to let him see his mommy and to see pictures of his new baby brother on the computer. NICU rules keep him from going to see Colby so we figured we could introduce them via a little modern technology.

I was going to post some new pictures of Colby tonight but after I got them loaded I realized that they did not do him justice.... I will post some new photos of Colby tomorrow morning. We hope to get some updated info as well as the results from a lot of today's test from the doctors during morning rounds on Wednesday. In the event that we did not have enough doctors names and titles to keep up with Colby decided he wanted an additional team of doctors so he now has a neurology team working to find the cause of the seizures..... He is turning out to be a little high maintenance..... I wonder which parent he got that from..... Perhaps I should take a poll.... never mind I might not like the results....

Oh yeah and I want to be the last to wish my beautiful, loving, strong, and compassionate wife a Happy Birthday..... Her birthday was today Aug 5th. Happy birthday to the best wife and momma in the world....
