Isaac is gaining a reputation as a "tough dude". The staff usually start off by saying, "he sure is cute...but..." Basically, he is not exactly happy to be there. He kind of gets a look once in a while, like... "what did mommy do to my crib ~ and why are all these people poking me?" He sure is cute when he's sleeping, however. Yesterday, he had some trouble breathing because he was congested. It made him very angry, so he decided to turn purple. Dad did too! We could have been two new members of the blue man group. His nurse, Suzanne, suctioned him out and then he relaxed. Suzanne also got him to take a bottle. Yea!!The things it takes to get him on a bottle.
His doctors and nurse practitioners say he is doing well. They hope to get his chest tubes out today, remove his central line and ween him off the oxygen and some other meds. If they can do some of this then they will move him up to the telemetry floor. Hopefully, we will be able to pick him up and hold him. He needs a squeeze from mom and dad. His oxygen saturation levels have been in the low 90's and he has looked a beautiful pink (when he's not mad and purple)!!
We're so grateful for all of the good care he is getting and for all of the thoughts and prayers from everyone!
