Isaac in low rider diapers!

Dear all,

I just wanted to do a quick post before I go back to sleep. Isaac's blood test for infection came back at 0.2 today. We are praying that it will get back to zero soon and stay at zero!

I have been getting a little worried that Isaac's oxygen saturation levels have been dropping quite often when we visit but I discovered something interesting yesterday which I confirmed today. The nurses have been telling me that his oxygen sat levels are usually pretty good (in the 90s) when we are not there and he does much better with his sat levels when he is on his tummy facing his left side, which is towards the wall. However, when we are there, a lot of times he is facing the inside of the room and his oxygen sat levels would hover around high 80s and then sometimes drop to low 80s or high 70s (his alarm is triggered at 87) so the nurse will have to manually puff more air in. Well, it turns out that the nurses try to have him face the inside of the room for when we visit so its easier for us to see him. I went into the separate room to pump milk after our visit today and when I came back out, I saw that they had just changed Isaac's position and his oxygen level was in the 90s. They also did this at the end of my visit yesterday. So I am more relieved now knowing that he really probably isn't crashing as often as I thought.

By the way, we didn't know Isaac was so hip already but it seems like he is already trying to dress hip hop style in low rider diapers! : D
This is what Isaac looked like when his daddy was bothering him too much and woke him up. Here is another picture of his foot. Isaac's feet look more and more like a minature version of his daddy's feet. They have the same toes, especially their big toes - Jong's big toes curl up just like that too!Take care and God bless, everyone!

We're continuing to pray for you both and Isaac (by the way, JJ pronounces his name "I-Zak"...it does sound kinda sci-fi). It's incredible to see his pictures...he looks just like a little boy now, a more miniature version. We thank God for the daily miracles of Isaac's progress and pray for strength for you two in this emotionally and physically strenuous time.
BTW, the yawn did make Isaac look like Sonia's Mom. And I'm glad to say I have no idea whether Isaac and Jong share big toe similarities.
