I am very sleepy right now but I really wanted to post after reading Susan's comments. Plus I have a couple of prayer requests so I will try to do this quick (hope what I write will make sense) and will wait till tomorrow to load the video.
Isaac got to 2,012 grams on Friday!!!!! Yippee Yeah Yeah!
Today, they also took the nasal feeding tube out! They are now feeding his medicine through his mouth. I am so thankful for this as this is one of the most difficult thing when I see them stick the tube down his nose all the way down his throat. It always makes me want to cry.
Jong and I went in for the full hour at 1 pm and Jong got to feed and cuddle with Isaac during that 1 hour meeting. I then went back in at 4 pm and 7 pm just to feed Isaac. Isaac ate really well and finished his milk pretty fast. Its funny, although part of me wished that he took longer, I am really glad he was less tired and could eat quickly.
Here are my prayer requests. The one year old girl right next to Isaac whom the nurses refer to as Mi-chan seemed really sick today. They had an IV in her and they were putting ice bags around her tonight, which probably means she has a pretty high fever. I don't know what she is sick with. Please pray for Mi-chan's healing and also for Isaac to not catch this bug.
Also, Isaac has a hernia. The doctor said its not serious right now and he will just monitor it for now. Isaac might need a surgery later but hernias can also self-heal sometimes.
Anyway, my eyes won't stay open so I will say good night for now!

Zippity doo da, zippyity day!!!!! Isaac is a total fattie!!!! I have a big grin on my face right now and am soooo happy! Every gram brings him closer to home. It is great that they took the feeding tube out! Boy, we have a lot to celebrate this weekend!
I am sorry to hear about Mi-chan and will say many prayers for that sweet baby.
Sonia and Jong, if it makes you feel any better, Sagan had two hernias that disappeared, so it can happen. And, they haven't made a reappearance in 5 years!
OK, I am going to ask you to say a prayer for Sagan. He is starting Kindergarten on Monday. If he had been born on his due date he wouldn't be starting until next year, so we are very nervous. He is very smart, but with the mild CP he has, it causes him to have constipation and occasional accidents in his pants. This is our big worry for his starting school. I know it is minor compared to what is happening in the nusery, but he did get kicked out a pre-K school in June because of it. So, please say a prayer that he has an easy transition.
I am sending hugs your way!
Susan
