Coming Home Soon!

By BK -

If you haven't checked the sidebar the picture page is up and running. Here's one of my favorite pictures of him under the Billirubin lights (for Jaundis). He totally looks like he's snorkeling!

Sorry for the lack of updates the last couple days. We thought we would be taking him home last night, but he didn't pass his car seat test (the last thing needed for him to be discharged). Basically he has to be able to sit in his car seat for a full hour without his SPO2 level dropping below a certain point (Saturation of Oxygen in his arterial blood flow) .

He's been laying down all of his time in the NICU so he's got to learn how to sit upright at the 45 degrees of the car seat and learn how to breathe properly.

We test again this morning, and if he fails again they try it with a car bed and he's still got to pass the test in the car bed (which shouldn't be much of a problem) So he should be coming home today.

I'm sure we'll get the updates going here more frequently because we'll have many more sleepless nights. We've actually been trying to bank up on our sleep the last couple nights (if that's at all possible)

I love this picture! My favorite picture of Chloe in the NICU was also a billi light pic, but her's was a different kind, so she looked more like a movie star with big sunglasses and a light green aura surrounding her head. We're looking forward to welcoming Izzy home when the time is right!

Happy Thanksgiving!

By BK -
We've got so much to be Thankful for this year! especially all of the help and well wishes we've received from all of you. We've got a healthy baby boy, with a couple of major issues, but all things that can be dealt with in time. We're so happy and lucky to have him. We're finding out fast that there are some great people down here that have offered their ears, their arms, and their wallets to us. We've got great support almost nationwide too! So as a quick little sign of thanks we've got this little video for you all to see the little guy in action.

Happy St Nicks Day

By BK -
A little tradition on the Kolis side of the family is to celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 6th. We put out our shoes and overnight St. Nicholas stops by and fills them with candy and presents. My family the presents are usually an ornament of some kind. The little video above is Isaiah m0re interested in the video camera than his St. Nick's Day presents under the tree!
