Neurosurgeon

We have had a blessed day. Our morning started out wonderful. We got to wake up as a family (rare on weekdays) and get ready for our day. Joe took the day off because we had the neurosurgeon appointment today. We all got to attend the physcial therapy session at our house...Joe had never met the therapist, and he got to see what actually takes place. Then my wonderful husband took Ella to his doctors appointment (physical now that he's 30...needs to make sure everything is okay!), while I went to bible study. Then we all went to Children's Medical Center and met with the neurosurgeon. His first question was "So, why am I seeing you guys?". He then proceeded to explain that he saw NOTHING that concerned him. Sure there are some trouble spots, but he said she had a good looking brain, even compared to a healthy baby it wasn't so bad. He reminded us again how lucky we are that Ella isn't worse. Again, I felt like it was God humbling me...telling me He has been protecting us. Thank you to everyone who prayed specifically for this to be a non-issue and for the doctor to say there is nothing at all to be worried about. Bless the Lord!!! Thank you also to my Mother's Heart Bible Study...I will never be able to say thank you for the prayers and constant support.

so what does this visit mean in terms of ella's prognosis? are they still suspecting some level of brain-damage? do they think it is mostly motor-skills damage?
