After 2 or 3 days of rest from Saturday’s surgery, Benjamin had an ultrasound of his head today which showed some increased brain swelling (cerebral edema). Of course we were very concerned, but the Dr’s explained that with such difficulties during the previous surgeries, this was to be expected. A few work ups on Benjamin also showed some traces of blood in his lungs, which couldn’t immediately be explained. I was however given the opportunity on Wednesday night to hold my baby for over an hour. It felt so good to have him in my arms again.
