So I arrived at NICU today and the nurses greeted me by telling how Isaac has not only been wanpaku (Japanese for naughty), he has been sugoi wanpaku (very, very naughty)!!!
On Saturday, when he threw his little tanrtrums (not that the tantrums were little but that he is such a little guy throwing tantrums ^_^), he had two IVs in him, one on each arm. I think he really didn't like that - may be part of the reason why he threw his tantrums. Then when we went yesterday, he had one IV in but this time on his foot. Well, today, the IV got changed again, probaby because he has been so wanpaku. Its back to one of his arms. He apparently has been moving around a lot.
Isaac was doing good today. His CRP levels went down from yesterday. About 2.2 (I forgot exactly). His oxygen mix is now only 23% and they are giving him 30 cycles a minute and his oxygen saturation levels were still good.
He was wide awake when I got there. His eyes were wide open and he was looking all around him for quite a while. His eyes are so beautiful! I then brushed his head and sang to him until he fell asleep.
Jong is away travelling on business again and will be gone for about 10 days. I can't imagine not seeing Isaac for more than 1 day! Let alone 10!!
This week is a bit sad for us. Our closest friends in Tokyo, Song and Dok and their children Mina and Junoh will be moving to Hong Kong on Thursday. They have been such a great support for us. Song came out to the hospital to cry with us the night after Isaac and Rachel were born and Rachel went to heaven. Song was also the one who came to surprise me to give me a ride home from the hospital during Jong's first trip away when I was very exhausted. The list can keep going on. For those of you in Hong Kong and attend ECC (Evangelical Community Church for those who are not in Hong Kong), please warmly welcome Song, Dok, Mina and Junoh if you meet them. I think they will try out ECC. ^_^
By the way, did you guys (in ECC) know that I was part of ECC when it first got started and was quite involved in Harvesters (ECC's youth group for those who are not part of ECC) way back when??? (I won't tell you guys how old I was then because you can then date me.)
In any case, I am going to try to post pictures a little later. If I fall asleep, I will try to do so in the morning!

Sonja and Jong,
I have been reading your website for quite awhile and am blessed by your faith in the Lord. Because we all believe in prayer I would like to let you know about a minsitry back in the states. Please visit our website http://visitourdream.blogspot.com/ We are beginning a children's ministry for abandoned children lost in the system and are trying to get as many people praying as possible! I am praying for your sweet little Isaac! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing faith!
Love,
Kayla and Leah
