God's plan is awesome as always!

We went for the ultrasound today, and it showed that Austin's brain is stable!!!!! There have been no changes in Austin since his last ultrasound in February. So, this means he doesn't have hydrocephalus! Thank you Lord! He still has an enlargement in his left lateral ventricle from the brain bleed, but it hasn't gotten any worse. Unfortunately, we don't really know what that means long term. His doctor said that could improve or it could stay the same, but that is something that we're going to have to pray about it. So, continue to pray for him and that he develops as he should in the coming months and years. For now, though, he has been saved from having to have major surgery. We're so blessed! Thank you all for your prayers! Austin also seems to be recovering well from his first ear infection. We can actually see 2 of his teeth under his bottom gums, so no telling when those might break through- could be weeks or months- who knows with a baby and teeth! He has been smiling so much at us and others; we just love to see his face light up! I don't think I've said on here that we weaned him off his oxygen during the day last Thursday. He has done very well with it and is only using it at night. He seems to love not having the cannula on his face during the day and cries at night when we hook it back up (we still have to use tape to keep it on his face during the night). I'm not sure how much longer he'll be on it at night, but we go back to the pulmonologist in a couple of weeks. Bradley is still having a rough time with his ear infection. He seems to have more than an ear infection, possibly a sinus infection and his doctor said he throat looked bad too. However he is on an antibiotic, so hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow. Thankfully this is the first time he has been sick since the babies were born, but he is used to getting my full attention when he is sick. He hasn't complained about it, but I wonder if it's why he is whining and moaning so much. I try to cuddle with his as much as possible, and we pray that God will guide us as to what is best when dealing with both boys. Bradley will be just fine; I trust God fully in his plan. He has his own life lessons to learn, and I'm positive one of those is realizing that you aren't the only person on earth. :-) So, we're rejoicing in our good news today and are very thankful for another one of God's many blessings! We had a busy weekend this past weekend; I'll post about it and pictures later. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
