For quite a while, the nurses have been placing cushions and other wrappings around Isaac to keep him tightly wrapped so he can't move around as much and because of that we could only really see his head and shoulders and not the rest of his body. Today, we finally got to see more of his body including his legs and feet and they have definitely grown! He was weighed again today and weighed 880 ml. That was quite a bit of gain since two days ago on Tuesday when he weighed 821 ml. He looked a little bloated so he might have edema again but we are hoping and praying that at least part of it was real weight gain. Our baby seems to just love moving - as he was more free today, he kept wriggling his little butt like he was trying to boogie. It was soooo cute! Unfortunately, whenever he moved too much, his oxygen saturation levels would drop.
The nurse also told us that today's chest x-rayed showed some slight improvement of his CLD in his left lung. This is the first time we have heard of an improvement of his CLD so we are definitely happy about that. Praise the Lord!
I am pretty sleepy now and wish I could sleep like our little boy. The first picture here is from two days ago and the rest of them are from today. He started out sleeping on his belly tonight but got moved to his side later in the evening. You will see in the third picture, the thing that looks almost like a blanket on him is actually a diaper that is way too big for him! ^_^ you should be able to see how big his belly got in the final picture.
Good night!Sonia

Praise the Lord for Issac's improved CLD condition! Issac "is" gaining weight rather quickly these days, isn't he? I do pray that his weight gain is all "healthy" one. Diaper is just very funny! Keep praying for his PDA!

Dear Sonia and Jong,
I will keep praying for both of you and Isaac and have asked a couple of Christian friends to uphold you and Isaac in their prayers.
I will continue to "look" in on Isaac via this site to see how he is going. Looking at the last photo it seemed to me that he had grown. I thank God for Isaac's weight gain and the improvement in his CLD.
when I pray for my Harry, Jules & Will I also pray for both of you and Isaac.
