Our Sweet Zackary

Zack did very well during his MRI and other tests today and handled the anesthesia and intubation like a trooper!! It felt like it took forever for us to get to see him again, but the nurses said everything went very well. He was awake when we walked into the recovery room and was doing perfect, and we were so excited to see him!

We were able to start feeding him right away, which seemed to make him happy! He took almost his whole bottle with no problem, he's just a little raspy from the intubation. He started smirking and talking to all of us after his bottle, being a very happy little guy, especially given his long day!!
Everything here has gone well so far, and now we are at the hotel relaxing tonight. Monday, Zackary will be admitted to the children's hospital for more EEG monitoring. He will be hanging out in an epilepsy monitoring unit, where he will be hooked up to an EEG for a minimum of 24 hours. I believe we are scheduled to be there 72 hours just in case the doctors need the additional monitoring to help them better understand what's going on with our little man.

We wont find out anything about any of the tests until the hospital stay, and even then only a few. Some of the genetic and metabolic things they tested are being sent off to other states and those will take up to a couple months to get any results. Until then we are just going to try to relax and maybe do a little sight-seeing so it doesn't sound like there will be much to update until next week!
