Almost another week down. Vann had another head scan yesterday, there was a slight increase in ventricle size, the blood clot is still there, but there is no new bleeding and the PVL looks normal. So all in all not too bad. The doctor said he would classify everything as stable since the increase in the ventricle size was SLIGHT. Since there was an increase, they will do another scan in two weeks, so they can keep a close eye on what is going on up there.
He also had his first eye exam. It is normal for preemies like Vann to have immaturity of the eyes, which they classify in different stages. 1 being mild and 4 being the worst. He currently has stage 1, so he will receive another eye exam next week. They will continue to monitor his eyes.
We know there is going to be some bumps in the road for our precious little guy, but we truly hope some of these bumps will resolve on their own. Please keep the prayers coming for Vann! As of today, he is 3 lbs. 4 oz.!
