Our litte superhero

Hi everyone,

Isaac's blood test results for his infection from today is stiil at 0.2 - no change from yesterday. It has to get to zero so we are still praying. It also seems like his edema is back as he looked a bit bloated again today and the nurse said that his urine output was only so-so. Fortunately, his blood pressure is still okay. I am not sure if his PDA could be causing the edema as he did have the same problem before shortly before they discovered the re-opened PDA.

The nice thing today was that his oxygen saturation levels were pretty good today and he was lying on his back. He also smiled a few times for us although they come and go so quick, its hard to capture with our camera.

Isaac looked a bit different today because of his edema and I don't know why, but with his arm and head positions, I think he looked a little like a little superhero cartoon character in these pictures. What do you think?



Yesterday was 3 months from when I was first admitted to the hospital. Today is 3 months since Rachel's water broke. In some ways, I can't believe its only been 3 months. February 28/March 1, 2006 now seem to be the days that we will always remember as the days that everything changed in our lives. My life before 2/28 now seems so distant. Almost like a far away dream. One thing the Lord has really tried to etch into our brains and our hearts these past 3 months is for us to wait in Him patiently -which is still really tough to do because I am a very impatient person. Waiting for Isaac to grow and to heal from his CLD, PDA and other conditions sometimes seems like I am trying to watch grass grow. But then again, its only been 3 months. Its not like I have been wandering in the desert for 40 years. And God has shown us sooo much of His love for us these past 3 months. So I keep having to remind myself - one day at a time, one day at a time...

God bless,

Sonia
