Ok, we finally got Liam's test results back. The lumbar puncture was fine. The EEG was abnormal - confirming he did have a seizure. The good news is he hasn't had any "break-through" seizures since starting the seizure medication. The doctor said when they have seizures this early, they normally grow out of them unless there's some sort of abnormality with the brain which Liam doesn't have - according to the doctor. He is getting another blood transfusion today and they started an IV in his scalp...Anyway, his o2 seems to be a tad bit more stable today and he is coughing up and they're suctioning out all kinds of gunk from his lungs and it's turning more yellow/cream colored - which is an improvement from the brown mucous they were getting. So, that's all we know for now.

Oh, and he's a thumb-sucker! Even with the ET tube, trans-pyloric OG tube, and the other tube in his mouth, today he is still managing to shove his thumb in his mouth!
