So I just got home from a couple of doctor appointments with my sister. The first appointment was awesome, we met with the doctor who is the head of NICU at the Overland Park Regional Medical Center. She was the sweetest, down to earth doctor I have ever met. She was also full of hope and positivity about Avery’s chances of survival. She was all for Jennifer supplying him with breast milk as soon as possible after birth which was a concern of ours. We learned, even though we kinda already knew, that breast milk is even better then the medications in all cases of baby’s being in NICU. It fights off infection and even speeds up the healing process in most cases. She explained that there will be a team there, including herself, of four people that will work as soon as he is born to keep him stable. We are praying that Jennifer’s milk comes in as soon as possible after he is born. We are going to try our hardest to prevent formula substitution as much as we can. Avery will be in the hospital anywhere from 2weeks to 1month depending on his healing process.
I know these things are hard to figure out so I decided to add some arrows and stuff
The second doctors appointment was not as positive as the first one. It was a sonogram appointment to check on Avery’s growth since 2 weeks ago. His head is still measuring as a full term baby (11.5 cm) and his body is growing at a normal rate. They still don’t see the cerebellum and the brain stem (this is the part of the brain that communicates for his motor skills, breathing included) but they say there is a chance it might be suppressed by the fluid considering when they monitored his lungs they saw strong breathing motions. 
This Doctor also said that he had no hope for Avery. That there would be no chance that he will live because of how much fluid is in his head. But at the same time, this doctor was just a sonogram doctor and works only with babies in the womb. Good thing he wont be around during delivery. I belive that Avery will live true to his name. In the English origin- Counselor; sage; WISE. That he will confound the wise (doctors) and that his little body would have wisdom and revelation of the healing power of JESUS!
