This has been another extremely stressful week at work. I have been up late and very early morning almost every day to deal with our US office. I finally got to go to bed earlier last night (11:30 pm) but got woken up by a wrong no. at around 3:15 am and I haven't been able to go back to sleep since then (its now 4:35 am).
It does seem like Isaac has some silent reflux problem as we did a few things to address it (email me if you want to know more) and he seems to be doing better. Not only his eating (less back arching) and his sleeping (we were able to reduce his night feeds to one time at around 1-2 am with the next one around 5-6 am) improved but most amazingly his breathing has improved! He spent the whole daytime yesterday without his O2 on and was able to sat at over 90% most of the time!!! Praise the Lord!!!!!
Anyway, I went back to the Frappr Map I set up for prayer warriors of Isaac early on in his NICU days and was marveling at the number of people praying for him and how the folks are spread all over North America and the rest of the world. So I decided to link it back onto the blog again. Its on the side bar but here is the link to - Frappr Map
Oh and his sleeping problems seem to be related to who is trying to get him to fall asleep at night. Its a bit heartbreaking for me but Remy definitely has an easier time putting him to sleep at night. I am hoping his excuse is because he doesn't want to fall asleep when he is with his mamma because he gets so little time with me. Boy is he going to get some guilt trip from his mamma when he is all grown up (don't worry I won't lay this on Isaac until he is much, much older. Hee hee) - your mamma went to the hospital every day for 6 months to visit you and you forgot as soon as you got home and cried every night when your mamma (after a stressful day at work) tried to sing you to sleep .... LOL. But actually, come to think of it, because of work, I haven't had a chance to try to put him to sleep at night since we made the changes to address his reflux so there is still hope.
Okay, I am going to try to see if I can fall back asleep for a couple of hours before I have to get back up.
God bless,
Sonia

Hey Sonia,
Glad to hear that things are going better. As an aside, are you sure that it is that Remy is better at it? Perhaps he just doesn't like your singing (ha ha ha!!!)
Love to all,

How exciting that Isaac turned over. I bet he will be rolling all over the place very soon, then comes crawling and watch out, he'll be into everything.
Hope your work is slowing down a bit. You can't afford to be worn out or get sick.
Take care, Rowena
