its time for another follow up. It seems like just yesterday we were there but I guess it has been six days since we were there.
In six days Isaiah has gained 8 more ounces. He has now gained past his birth weight. He is 9 pounds and 4 ounces! Let me be the first to say he is a HORSE!!! We already had to get bigger bottles because he is eating 4-6 ounces every 2-3 hours. Yesterday he ate 18 ounces in less than 12 hours. We stopped in at the home health store to get the bigger bottles. Our dr wrote the prescription for 6 bottles. They informed us that they no longer bill the insurance for the bottles or pump. So we only got the bottles for now and will submit the claim ourself. For six bottles we shelled out $ 143.00. That was with the 10 % discount they gave us. Can you say OUCH!
Isaiah has had a knot on his head since shortly after birth. It is about the size of a fifty cent piece. I wasn't overly concerned at first but am becoming increasinly more so each day. They noticed it last week at the follow up. Then today I mentioned it again. They had two specialist peditricians look at it. They were a little concerned. They said it should be on top of the skull but his isn't They felt a bone around it. They said they will observe it next week and if no change then they will order a scan. So if you have a second this week then please say a prayer for the big guy!
We go back on the 20th.
I have some new pictures I need to post soon.
BTW, after each post you see a spot for comments. Please take a moment a leave a comment for us.

Dear Amy, as hectic as my life it could be right now, please know that i'm following Isaiah's well being. I'm so happy he's eating so much! wow! he is a horse...lol! God bless him. I am concerned about the knot they found on his head, my little nephew is in my prayers; I wish I could do more for him. Thank you for keeping us posted sweetie, i can only imagine for what you are going through. Hugs & kisses to you, Elijah, and of course, little Isaiah.
