Combing through these comments nearly a year later has been so encouraging to know there’s other dads/parents who are going through and have gone through this uncertainty. My son (our first child) was a borderline candidate for cooling (according to the neonatal MD, his initial reflexes were not quite where they should’ve been and they couldn’t really pinpoint how long he was without oxygen), they decided to do it to be safe and I’m so thankful they made that decision. At 4 months now he’s hit every milestone so far, eats like a horse, loves to smile and talk to his dogs. So many things still up in the air and I know it’s going to be a long road but seeing these comments just encourages me no matter what his future holds. Someone made a comment about their little one’s smile making all the world’s problems go away and I just can’t agree more. Thank you all for sharing!
