Eye of the Tiger

Cate's brain ultrasound came back inconclusive. The Dr told us the ultrasound may have shown some fluid/water in the brain??? He wasn't sure though. They are going to do another ultrasound in a few weeks. Water/fluid in the brain is very normal for babies born under 1000 grams. Cate was born at 770 grams. This would however increase her risk for cerebral palsy to 30%. Cate has already made it over a number of hurdles and I'm confident she will overcome whatever challenge thrown her way. She finally conquered her first drop of milk from Mom after 14 tries. Shes been at it a whole week, twice a day/15 minute sessions! :) Only 35 weeks gestation and this was with a feeding tube in her mouth taking up 1/3 of the space!! What a CHAMP!!! You haven't failed until you've quit! I will post some good pictures soon. Your thoughts and prayers mean everything to us!!!
