Quick update - 12/9/08

Hi all -

Here's a quick update. I'll add more this evening.
Things are continuing to look good for little Cassidy. He got an EEG yesterday, which came back normal. He also got an MRI this morning, and the initial results from that are that there's no significant damage. (non-scientists in the reading audience - I'll explain this stuff in more detail later.) He's also eating regularly (every 3 hours) - Holly got to feed him earlier today. We also read him his first two books. He was quite excited.

Everyone here at the hospital is very pleased with his progress. At this point, the plan is to keep him on phenobarbitol until Saturday, then take him off and see how he does. If he's OK for a few days after that, then he can come home.

We're going for a walk now, then up to see him for a while. I'll add more later, along with more pictures. Once again, thanks so much for all of your love and support. It really means a lot to us to know that there's so many people out there wishing us well.
