1 week old
Here are a couple pictures. These are coming home from the hospital.
We went to Pittsburgh on Friday and had the NAM device fitted and placed. He did really well with it. Everyone we met was very nice and we felt comfortable with our decision. I think our deceiding factor was this... If we did not have the NAM device placed then Isaiah was guarenteed a bone graft surgery between the age of 7 and 12. They would take a bone from his hip and place it in his gum line to connect them. If the device was used then there is a 60 percent chance that surgery won't be needed. We felt that we owed it to him to try to prevent any surgery that we could. I also know that we know the MASTER PHYSICIAN and are claiming the surgey won't be necessary!
Since the device was placed he has started eating better. It looks like a retainer. We will start making weekly trips to have it adjusted. This thursday is our first appointment.
In closing, please pray for me. I love my baby so much. My heart breaks for him. I know that God has a plan in all of this. I know that we were chosen to walk this path for a reason but as a mom it kills me inside to know that he will have to go through so much. We just got him out of the hospital last night with jaundice. I know that this is all fixable but when its your tiny baby going through it, it hurts. Please pray that God will give me strength. BUT MOST OF ALL PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR A COMPLETE HEALING FOR MY PRECIOUS BABY, ISAIAH!

Almost 36 weeks
Well not bad for one who wanted to come so early. I am now officially ready for Isaiah to make his appearence. I am excited to hold him and start aour life with a new little one. I bought him a few more outfits today and going tonight to buy the last few things I need for him.
Maybe I will get lucky and all the walking today with jumpstart things. I doubt it but we will see.
Dave and I just got home. We went away last night for the last time before Isaiah's arrival. We had a really good time. It was nice just to reconnect.
I go back to the dr on wednesday. Hopefully things will progress soon. Maybe another ultrasound in our future....
Have a great weekend.
