We are happy to be home!

We got home about 5 yesterday evening. So far things seem to be going well. poor lil guy looks so pitiful. He hasn't made a sound. just a lilttle cry here and there. He is drinking juice really well but wont touch a drop of milk. I hate knowing my baby cant eat food for a week. I hope when we go back on wednesday then the dr will tell us he can have pudding and yogurt. His swelling is down in his hand and face. He is doing better than I anticipated.
Thanks for the love and prayers,

Amy

We are going home!

just got word from dr we can go home. I heard we got snow back home so hopefully we can get home before it gets too bad. We just need to watch for signs of dehydration. he started using his sippy some today so it looks like we are well on our way to recovery.

Isaiah is much better!

doctor came in early this morning and was pleased with the progress Isaiah made through the night. They removed his nose tube. I am sure he feels much better. He has started drinking from a sippy cup. He is still on morphine around the clock but I see a big improvement.

keep praying!

fever is up.

they gave him his dose of steriod. his fever is up to 102.5. his heartrate is running between 150-200. normal is 100-130. please pray that the steriod does the trick for the swelling and his tongue goes own. then his breathing may be better adjusted.

keep praying!

Rough day

Isaiah has had a really rough day. drs just left a little while ago. his tongue is still very swollen. because of swelling he is working harder to breathe. they called resitory therpy. they all deceided it was best to give him a dose of steriods. they said sometimes steriods can cloud or hide an infection so the are keeping a close eye. he still feels pretty warm. they are leaving the nose tube in all night and will reevalute in the morning to see if second dose of steriods is needed.
please continue to lift my baby up in prayer.

Isaiah is out of surgery

isaiah is out of surgery. We were call to recovery @810pm. we r in a room now. He is sleeping. Hopefully he will rest as comfortablly as possible. The ENT cleaned out his ears and put him on more medicine. The surgeon was able to close his palate and do everything with the muscles so he may not need another surgery in three months. Tomorrow will tell alot. He has to drink 6ozs then he can move to the next stage and be one step closer to coming home.
