Grade III bleed

RL -Tyler's mom - 12:38pm Sep 8, 2006 EST

Hi,

We had our son on 8/4/06 at 27 weeks. He has been diag. w/a grade III bleed on both sides of his brain. I'm just looking to see if anyone can give any kind of info. on if they have had a similiar experience, how did you get thru it? It's hard not knowing what the future may hold for him. He's still in the NICU right now. Any help would be appreciated.

thank you
RL

Hi,

My name is Tammy and I just wanted to post this to raise the spirits and give you a positive story. My son, CJ, developed a grade III IVH on both sides with hydrocephalus during the days following his birth. We were told of a grim outcome with the possibility of severe developmental delays. He underwent serial lumbar punctures to release the pressure while the bleed subsided on it's own. He did not require surgery but remained on Diamox to decrease CSF production for many months afterwards. By some miracle, he is now a healthy happy 15 year old who loves high school and singing and acting. We were told he would most likely have motor skill problems but he plays the piano like no body's business. Here is a link so you can see that there are positive outcomes out there so keep you chin up http://www.youtube.com/user/CJMarsiniMusic#p/u/3/OIbfFv-qHEY
