You won't believe it but Isaac is sick again. He started getting a runny nose and coughing yesterday and it rapidly deteriorated so that he started being back on O2 again last night. He slept poorly last night and has been having a very hard time today. We took him to the clinic this morning and had his chest x-rayed. Fortunately, his lungs look okay. He has been wheezing a lot with very labored breathing even when he is not wheezing and he has a lot of phlegm. He is also running a temperature (but thankfully not a high one)
Poor little boy, he wasn't eating today, barely drinking and crying all the time (which is very out of character for him). I have had to nebulize him almost every hour during the day when he was awake. He is sleeping now. Please pray that both him and Remy can get some good sleep tonight and that he can recover quickly!
This time around its just Remy and me since my mom left on Sunday and Jong left this morning for a trip. And I worry about going back to work tomorrow and leaving just Remy with Isaac!
Thakn you for your prayers!

Isaac seems to be finally better - hope it lasts!
Dear all,
Its been up and down for a few days here. Isaac seemed to have gotten better by Friday morning but then he got worse again on Friday afternoon and evening when he needed 1.5-2 liters O2 again. Finally on Saturday afternoon, he finally really seemed to be better after he woke up from his afternoon nap and actually didn't need O2 all last night! He seems okay this morning too. His doctor finally prescribed us a nebulizer on Thursday and we have been nebulizing him when he has been wheezing but so far today he hasn't been wheezing yet.
God really answered my prayers because I was praying that Isaac would be off of O2 by Sunday and it seems like he might not need it anymore.
Work has been so crazy I still haven't posted pictures from our US trip. We have tomorrow off so hopefully I can find sometime to do it soon.
Thanks for all of your prayers.

Back from doctor's
Hi all,
We are back at home now. Isaac got a nebulizing treatment when he was at the clinic and his wheezing stopped immediately but his wheezing started back up after we got home. The doc prescribed oral medication/syrup that works as a broncho-dilator, cough suppressant and expectorant which we gave him after he got home. He is sleeping now but breathing rather shallow. He is on 2.0 Liters of O2 and still satting only in the low 90's. However, the doctor doesn't want us to go above 2.0 L so I am just praying that he can start breathing better soon!

Isaac is sick; O2 back on
Dear all,
Isaac started getting a runny nose on Sunday and developing a cold. His cold slowly worsened throughout the week and took a turn for the worse this evening. We already called his ped earlier in the evening and will be bringing him into the clinic first thing tomorrow morning. He woke up around midnight crying and having difficulty breathing, with oxygen saturation levels at the high 80's and low 90's. Fortunately, we had not returned the Oxygen machine yet and so we could put supplemental O2 back on him. For a while, we had him on 2.0/Liter an hour and he was still barely hitting 95. I was ready to call the ped again thinking we have to bring him into ER. Fortunately, he fell back asleep and is now satting at 95-97 on 1.5/Liter an hour. Can you please pray that he is able to breathe for the rest of the night and if he needs medication, the doctor will prescribe him the right kind of medication tomorrow morning? Please pray that he starts getting better because I am pretty sure if he gets worse, we are looking at a hospital stay for him.
Thank you for your prayers. Please also pray that I can fall back asleep and get some rest before an early morning tomorrow.
I will update tomorrow.

We are back
Dear all,
Thank you for all of your prayers. We got back to Japan on Saturday night and have been very jet-lagged since. I also started work again on Monday so I haven't had a lot of time. But I will try to find some time to post pictures and details regarding our trip. It was a really great trip!
