Wow, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. Last December my granddaughter, AVA, was born. We knew from the sonograms that she had a nodule in her brain. It was a very blessed birth but very stressful. We didn't even know if she would live.
They say she is deaf and blind, although we don't have a clue what the future will bring.
She spent the first 2 months in the hospital in Portland, OR. Then they let her go home. But every couple of days she had to go back to the hospital with hypothermia, and urinary problems etc. It seemed that all of our time was spend in the hospital. Her mom, Jessica, had to quit her job to just be there for the baby. It is was very stressful, and I know that you must feel the same. It is so hard to rest yourself when you are always worried, and hospitals are no place to sleep.
Thank God, she has been home now for about a month. The trips to the hospital are lessening. Lots of people were praying, and continue to pray.
So have faith, and we will all be sending our prayers for speedy recovery and for extra strength for you.
