Jong came back to Japan this afternoon and we went to the hospital together for my last "visit". Jong will go tomorrow without me as I need to stay late at the office to finish up before I take a 6 week leave and then on Saturday, we will go to the hospital and come back with our little boy!!!!!
Isaac seems to be interacting with his surroundings, the nurses and us more and more every day. I really can't wait for him to come home where we can give up lots of attention and fun things to play with!
Sorry I haven't posted much this week but we are in a frenzy trying to get ready for Isaac's homecoming. And I am very busy at work too so its been just insane.
Anyway, I gotta catch some zzzzz's so I will post more later!
Take care!

Sonia,
It's a GOOD kind of frenzy, at least! I am SO excited for you! I don't know how you will be able to contain yourself! Will you just play with him and watch him sleep 24/7? I can't even imagine how you must feel - to have had this child in your life for over 6 months, but for him to have never realized the fullness of your presence - it is totally unfathomable. Things are about to change, and in the best way possible. The healing and the hope that we have all prayed for is finally happening. Isaac is going home, and I, for one, have tears in my eyes. I don't even really know you, but to pray for someone for so long seems to build a connection that masquerades as a true friendship. I am so emotional about the whole thing, and I am so far away - just a regular school teacher in Georgia, USA. I'm a nobody by the world's standards, but I am someone through Jesus Christ. I am just SO thankful that God knows us, and loves us, and listens to our needs. And I am thankful today and everyday that happy endings like this one are possible through Jesus Christ our Lord. Praise God!

PRAISE GOD!:)
Isaac is comming home, your baby boy is going to be where he belongs, with you. Sonia you are more of a mom than most moms I have seen, I have no doubt you will love every moment of him being home and watching all the development and growth. GOD has given you a precious gift and I know you cherish him with all your heart.
Praying for complete health and happiness through out the winter season and beyond.
Dear Sonia, Jong and Isaac,
I am so thankful that this day has come at last! You have all been through so much these last six months and you have maintained an incredible faith through it all. You have no idea how your faith and love of our Lord has blessed my life. I thank you so much for sharing so openly these last few months and I now look forward to watching your precious boy grow up in your loving home. I just can't even imagine the emotions you must be having now. May our wonderful Lord bless you and keep you totally healthy through the cold Tokyo winter. We lived in Yokosuka many years ago and I remember how cold it can be! Anyway, I look forward to hearing all about the homecoming and those first special pictures! God Bless. Rowena
Sonia and Jong,
I cannot tell you how happy and excited I am for you to have your lovely Isaac home with you finally!!!! This day has been so long in coming. I have tears in my eyes thinking about it. Be prepared...you will now offically have not time for yourselves or each other as you cater to all the needs of King Isaac. And, your mighty boy deserves all the pampering in the world! I am so impressed by his strength and will to live. I am preparing myself for the fact that your posts may well be longer in coming since you will be so busy! Give each other a hug for me and please give Isaac a big kiss from me!!
Love,
Susan
Sonia, I can barely contain my excitment for you and Jong! Finally bringing Isaac home!!! Praying for you as you have one more sleep till the big day - may it be restful and uneventful!!! Love and Hugs, Anne
I can't believe the day has finally come. My heart is so full of happiness that our little Isaac is finally able to come home and be cared for by the two of you. I know he will do tremendously well and we won't even recognize him as the little preemie we've watched over the last 6 months. I can't wait until Isaac has his first visit to CA because I don't think you'll be able to make me let go of him. (I know, it's going to be awile but I still can't wait).
Praying that this transition is smooth, that you and Jong have the strength to care for Isaac, that the cold bugs stay away and most importantly, that God's loving and merciful hand continue to be on Isaac as he enters the new phase of his life.
Much love,
Mary
Woooooooooohoooooooooooooo! I can't believe it! Isaac is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen in my LIFE! Have a blast & best wishes!!!!!!!!! :)
Dearest Sonia and Jong,
Congratulations on your baby's homecoming. Know that I will continue to hold your fmaily in prayer. What a true blessing Issac is to this world. Love him up. Place all you praise and fears upon God's feet and enjoy the blessing you have been entrusted with.
hugs and kisses!
Suzanne, peter, Anya, Galya and Mary
