Also, I was googling his condition, and his prognosis looks good because he's making eye contact, smiling, and eating well. The little I read made it look like he's on he milder side of this condition, and that with early intervention and physical therapy, he could live a good life! If you know anyone (in the US, sorry KDMac ), please have them contact the agency.
I've worked with kids with HIE before and you're right, it sounds like his prognosis is pretty good. Dear lord he's adorable...you NEED him!

Sounds like YOU need him!!!
Don't think it didn't cross my mind...but then I remembered that I that I have repeatedly told my H and anyone crazy enough to ask when we're having #2 that it's not happening until we can afford for me to go down to part time or H gets a job that lets him be home most evenings (he's a restaurant manager and is gone 5 nights/week). Adorable sweet baby snuggles will do me no good if I lose my mind from trying to handle two little ones

My reasoning exactly...except add one kid to the mix! I need someone else to adopt him so I can snuggle him and then go home.

Amen to that...if my sister and BIL weren't waiting until their condo is at least on the market before they stop preventing I'd be trying to talk her into it. Then the snuggles would only be two hours away!

I have an HIE baby with what sounds like a similar prognosis to this little sweetie. Mine's now 10 months old and doing so great! He's been released from the neurologist/weaned off phenobarb and we're slowly backing off on physical therapy. This little guy is so sweet!! Don't let this diagnosis scare you!
