Oliver turns one week old

Well Oliver turned one week old on Monday, he is up to 2 lbs. 3 ozs.  On  Mothers Day Brandi got a very special gift, her and my son got to hold Oliver all afternoon, that little bundle of joy just nestled under their chin and seemed to enjoy every minute of it.  I just could only imagine how Brandi must of felt holding him for the first time.  He is doing pretty good for a little guy, hope to get him off the ventilator soon.  Babies born before 32 weeks run a high risk of brain bleeds, but the doctors really didn't think Oliver was going to have a real problem with that since he hadn't shown any signs of having that.  On Monday they did a brain scan, the range is 1 - 4, four being the number you don't want.  Oliver's came back a 4, the doctors were shocked, he seems to be bleeding on his right side of his brain.  They are going to be doing another scan this week to see if the bleeding has stopped.  What this means for Oliver they don't know, it could be some developmental problem to cerebral palsy they want know until he gets bigger, just hoping since he has been a fighter up until now, he will over come this problem and it will not effect him too much.... I got to visit Oliver yesterday, just standing their over him all I saw was a tiny little bundle of joy, stretching his little legs and his little knees wrinkling up, moving his little arms and hands, and moving that adorable little mouth.  Know we don't know what the outcome will be in the future for Oliver, what I do know it will be met with unconditional love from his parents and grandparents.  And we will always be grateful for that little blessing that has entered our lives.  Thanks again for all your concerns and prayers,  will keep you udated on Olivers progress.  Vicky
