Yitzchak Meir is back at Misgav Ledach. His condition is, unfortunately, not improving. The doctors are not sure of his future condition, or even if he will survive in the short term. All that is left is asking God to have compassion on Yitzchak Meir and the entire Seltzer family.
Yitzchak Meir went to Shaare Tzedek hospital for EEG and CT scans. Doctors are not pleased with the results. We attempted to check him in, but balked when we heard that insurance would not cover the admission.
Baby has been named Yitzchak Meir ben Lev haLevi. Yitzchak Meir Silverstein was his 2nd great-grandfather, and was a religious Jew. We hope in the merit of this name that he will come out of his coma and will have a refuah Shelaymah.
Baby is off the respirator. All vital signs are good. Drugged with phenol barbital (an anti-convulsant), so not able to tell if dulled reactions are still due to birth trauma, drugs, or other problems. CAT scan scheduled on Monday.
Shalom Zachor (“party” in honor of new baby) held in the Seltzer Residence for the new baby. Prayers and good wishes are offered.
