Timeline

There have been a few people who have asked about the timeline for Maggie's care. As of right now the plan is that Maggie will have an evaluation on Monday to lay out the next steps. If everything continues to progress like it is up until Monday, we will most likely go home that day. That is in a perfect world. The problem is, with these little ones, if she decides to stop nursing or if she doesn't eat enough or... well the list could go on forever, then we would be staying longer. Once we are released the fun does not end. The nature of brain damage dictates that future tests are immanent. For instance brain damage won't show up on an MRI until about 30 days after the damage is done. There is also a possibility that she will appear perfectly fine and then down the road have issues. If she had damage done to the part of the brain that controls language then obviously that couldn't be assessed until she is a couple years old. This is going to be a process and a great lesson in patience, trust and faith.
