I got to hold both of the boys together for the first time today!
Trevyn Update
Last I updated, Trev was getting an MRI for an enlarged ventricle. I am very happy to report that the MRI came back showing that everything is normal!!! While his left ventricle is larger than the right, they are both still within normal parameters and of no concern, though we will still continue to monitor it in the upcoming head ultrasounds. That being said, I looked up some information about people who are dominant with the left side of their brain and found this...

Below is a list of things that left brained people are good at or they like and things that are done in the left brain.
*Eastern and Western thought: A doctor in an a country like China would first ask a person how they are doing and what else is going on in their life before they give them medicine. A doctor in North America would just ask them what their symptons were and then give them medicine.
Here are some occupations that are USUALLY fufilled by a left-brained person. (There are always exceptions)
Yesterday in the early morning the Dr. took Trev off of the Oxygen... completely! It was quite exciting! My sweet little boy did so well for so long. However, by about 5am this morning he decided he was a little tired of doing all the breathing work on his own and they needed to give him the nasal cannula once more to keep his O2 saturation levels good. We will try again in a few days.
- Dax is coasting along just fine since getting off the ventilator on 8/1. I finally heard him let out a good cry last night which was sowonderful to hear. It may seem weird to enjoy the sound of your baby crying but a good cry shows a lot about a baby's determination and health. It was very nice to get that piece of mind that his lungs are finally strong and ready to tell the world his story!
And now I will leave you with a video of Dax enjoying his zoogie (pacifier)!!!
