Brooke's neurologist finally came - he said her EEG was normal and everything looked good!!! What wonderful news - we are so happy and blessed!! He said he would now say that Brooke is at more of a mild to moderate risk for neurologic deficits. Only time will tell what she can do. So now on to feeding - which will hopefully happen tomorrow.
Brooke also saw an occupational therapist today, she was pretty pleased with her assessment, Brooke does have a few movements that she thought were slow - but that it was to be expected with how sick she was. The therapist wants us to start getting Brooke up more and giving her more stimulation - which is great news because we were so nervous before as we were told not to overstimulate her. We have to start sitting her up more, we are bringing her bouncer seat in to get her up in that and get her moving more. Trent and I got a good hour of play time in with her this afternoon before she got to sleepy - it was so fun to finally be able to play with our baby! The therapist also gave us some exercises to start doing with Brooke to work on her development.
Brooke just went down for a nap so Trent and I are going to try to sneak off and get some supper before she wakes up again.
Again I cannot say enough how thankful I am for all of your prayers and support - I truly believe Brooke has come this far and done so well with help from all of you and someone up above.
Love, Trent, Brittany and Brooke
