Will - They increased his Phenobar again today due to the seizure activity and the intermittant twitching he still has. Another 12 hours of observation on the EEG was added on as well to ensure they have enough data to make a good analysis tomorrow evening. Most of the seizure activity is on the left side of the brain, which was the same side which had the heaviest brain bleed, so they are thinking at this point the seizures are due to the brain bleed. They will keep increasing the Phenobar doses until the seizures cease. As far as the spinal tap results, no bacteria has yet to grow (but we still have another day or so to go for the final results) but it's looking less like Meningitis and more like just the fluid from his brain properly draining. He has been off milk for the past day or so but they are going to try and give him 4CCs tonight just to see what happens. On a more positive note, he opened his eyes nice and wide today for about 15 minutes to get a good look at Mommy.
Tenley - She had a two hour kangaroo hold from Mommy today. They actually tried to switch her from the CPAP to just the nasal oxygen but apparently "Princess" didn't like that too much - it only lasted 20 minutes! So, she's back on the CPAP but thats not bad news at all. She still spends most of her awake time trying to pull the CPAP headgear-like-aparatus off her face...I can't really blame the girl. She has maxed out at 16CCs of milk until she can pack on some more pounds.
