Isaac was 8 weeks old yesterday (31 weeks by G.A.)

I tried to post last night but I was so sleepy I ended up really rambling so I gave up and went to sleep.

First, I will post some good news before I talk about the tough time we had and what God showed us leading up to the good news.

Isaac's blood test result for his infection was still at 0.2. Please continue to pray for Isaac with the help of antibiotics to get rid of his infection completely. Also, I think they might have given him diuretics because it looked like his edema is gone. The good news - he weighed 918 grams. (However, I don't know if they weighed before or after his edema went down). Also, the really good news is the chest x-ray from yesterday morning showed that his lungs were improved again - so much so that they switched him back to the conventional ventilator from the high frequency ventilator he has been on for the past 2 or so weeks since his reopened PDA was discovered. And his oxygen saturation levels were really good the entire time we were there. Praise God. Unfortunately, his PDA is still there.

He was awake when we arrived and the nurse said that his eyes had been opened for 30 minutes and she thought he was waiting for us. He fell back asleep a little while after we arrived but he was moving around a lot in his sleep. He then got pretty fussy and started looking like he was crying (just by his expression but no tears) and looked really unhappy - the nurse tried to calm Isaac down by putting her palms on Isaac but was not that successful so Jong put his palms on little Isaac and daddy was able to calm Isaac down very quickly. Isaac then slept like an angel with daddy's hands on him and Jong was really happy.

This was me earlier in the visit holding Isaac's hands:This is a side view of Isaac's head. His hair is growing a lot too!
I have to run and will try to post about some things that happened before we had our good visit with Isaac later.

Blessings,

Sonia
