Baby update / the NICU encyclopedia

Regular ultrasound scans of our daughter's brain have revealed a small spot in one of the ventricles. The spot was still there in yesterday's scan so her doctor ordered a CT scan, which showed that all is well. If there had been an intraventricular hemorrhage, it caused no damage and it's resolving itself.

She also had a barium swallow X-ray yesterday, which showed no abnormalities in her esophagus and stomach. Good God, the barium cocktail reeks when it comes out the other end!

Newborn Intensive Care: What Every Parent Needs to Know is a marvelously comprehensive guide to what can happen in a neonatal intensive care unit. One of the pediatric physical therapists at the hospital gave us a copy of the book yesterday (which generosity depends on this year's availability of grant money), and it has helped us understand what's going on and what to really worry about (not that worrying does any good, but it's gonna happen anyhow).

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
