No Leucomalacia!!!

Of all days to have the internet go down, it would be this one. Sorry to keep you all in suspense! We got the best news possible yesterday afternoon that Colin's noggin is perfect! No leucomalacia! It is such a relief that we've got another major hurdle behind us. Does this mean Colin will have an uneventful run from here on out? No. However, it was one of the biggest milestones to date. The absence of leucomalacia does not mean he won't develop cerebral palsy, though it does minimize the risk. He still is at higher risk for developmental delays and learning disabilities (and CP). But, you know what? This Dad is done worrying about all the negative possibilities. Instead, I choose to focus on all the wonderful things that Colin has accomplished and cherish the joys of his good health to date.
I've had my share of ups and downs in life, but the two things God has blessed me with - and the two most important - is an amazing spouse and an amazing child. I always say to Ania that I won life's lottery regarding our marriage. Well, Colin makes it the Mega-Jackpot! When I'm down, I need to look no farther than those 2 people in my life, and I've got it made - I really do.
Okay, enough of the sappy stuff :-) My little man also, just maybe, has finally figured out this weight thing too! Just yesterday alone, Colin gained over 1 full ounce - his biggest gain to date! So he's a hefty 2 pounds, 9.4 ounces! And maybe just a little longer too, at about 14.5 inches. No longer my foot-long hot dog! :-)
Thank you from the depths of my heart for all the loving support and prayer you've shown us from the very beginning of this adventure, but especially recently. What a wonderful network of family and friends we have - you all are truly amazing! Colin sends many loves to all of you!
