A couple of "firsts"

We finally moved! We are completely not unpacked but everything is out of our old apartment and into our new apartment. Unfortunately, the movers took quite long yesterday so I had to stay behind when Jong went to the hospital to see Isaac.

Work was really insane today and Jong had a dinner meeting so he went to see Isaac earlier. Lucky for Jong, Isaac was really awake yesterday and today when he saw him. But Isaac was slept through when I was there tonight. This is a picture of Isaac from yesterday.But a couple of "firsts" - today was the first time I got to buy something for Isaac to use. The nurse asked me to buy Isaac a bar of soap - they specifically asked for name brand and type but here is what I bought for Isaac. I think its so cool that they are washing Isaac with soap now!! I know its silly but I was really happy I got to buy something for Isaac today that he actually gets to use soon!Second "first" today was the first time my dad got to meet Isaac in person. I got special permission for my dad to see Isaac inside NICU for about 10 minutes. My dad was a happy camper!!My dad also serendipitously got to meet Isaac's surgeon tonight as he was waiting outside of NICU waiting for his time to meet with Isaac. The surgeon spoke with my dad for a while and assured my dad that they are going to try their best to make sure Isaac's surgery goes as smoothly as possible. The surgery is still scheduled to be on Thursday - but it might start a little later that morning. I am not sure what time but please do be praying Thursday morning Asia time/Wednesday evening U.S. time. Also, Isaac's infections score/CRP blood test was 0.2 today. I am praying for it to go to zero soon.

Unfortunately, the little girl we mentioned last week is no longer there. My guess is she is now in heaven along with Rachel. Please pray for her parents and her grandparents.

Good night,

Sonia

Dear Sonia,
I am a member of TBC and praying for Isaac and you.
How is your coughing now? With my experience, gargling with tea (green tea or regular tea) loosens cough. I usually use earl grey tea for that.
May the Lord give Issac strength to go through this tough time and give you peace in Him.

Dear Sonia,

Just to let you know that I am still staying on top of Isaac's condition on a daily basis. I really enjoy hearing about how he's doing. He's SO adorable! God is definitely watching over him. Will certainly keep you all in my prayers on the 22nd.
