Third day

Ima and Ella were able to stay a third day in the maternity ward. The ultrasound was done on Ella and Dr. Volpe (world reknowned neo-natal neurology specialist from Children’s Hospital) went over the films. It took him quite awhile….. A neurologist came in to give us a summary of Dr. Volpe’s findings. Abnormalities of the brain were suspected. An MRI and EEG are required. Dr. Martin, the ward pediatrician, came in to check on things. She gave contact information and a diagnosis: hemi-megalencephaly.
