Busy Days

Its been a busy day for all of us. Brian went to work today for almost the full day. Rachel fed Izzy a couple bottles today and spent most of the day at his side. We also had a fair number of people come by the house this evening.

Isaiah's is doing well with his feedings now that he's on the pigeon nipple. He's got a high palette so they put him on the nipple designed for kids with cleft palettes and its working quite well. He took 7 bottles in a row of 50-60cc's which is great.

There are some worries about his nasal cavities being a bit constricted so they're observing his oxygen intake overnight tonight and if he does come home tomorrow or Friday with us he'll most likely be on a ECG/Respiratory monitor for a little while since he may be prone to Aepnea.

I'll be able to catch up more this weekend hopefully since we're both supremely beat from our days and just want to head to bed. I promise there will be more to read here very soon. Its just a matter of finding the time to post it.

I'm so happy you have this blog available so we can keep up to date on what's going on. We've been thinking about you and praying that little Izzy gets to go home soon!

Congratulations! Welcome Lil' Iz!

I would just like to point out two things that I wish I had when I was born:

1. Those SWEET sunglass/shades
2. A 'Feed and Grow' area! What a cool name! No wonder kids these days grow up so fast...how can you not! I think I must have been put in the "Sit and Do Nothing" zone haha.
