Isaiah is doing better

We had to make a trip to see the peditrician. Seems Isaiah has caught a cold or sinus gunk on top of trying to recover. Another round of Augmentin for him.
We were so excited the Isaiah had not had any drainage from his ears.... until last night. His left ear started draining. ARGH!!! I was really praying we were over that stuff!

We did notice that last night he was laughing some. It was great seeing our baby start coming back to life as we know him. He was crawling around and smiling.

We took him to church this morning but he didnt do very well. Cried and fussed thru most of it. I stayed home with him and Elijah this evening. Girls had dance and play practice. He was very cooperative and sat by me on the floor while I got some wrapping done.

Again I just want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone for all your prayers and support. Having the love and support from our family and friends has made our journey a little easier.

Another Dr appt today

We have an appt @2 today to see Dr. Mitchell. I think he may have caught a cold on top of everything else.
I found that yesterday he loved sweet tea from mcdonalds and I also gave him vanilla pudding with lots of milk in a cup. He loved it. So I know we are making a lil progress.
He has a runny nose and cough. I dont know. I still dont think we are getting enough fluids in him. Guess time will tell with dr. today.
Say an extra prayer please..

1 week post-op appt

Isaiah has had a rough week. Not wanting to drink much. Very lathargic looking. Just pitiful. Breaks this mommas heart to know I cant help him...
Had our follow up appt in pittsburgh today...
Our appt was at noon. They checked him out and gave us to choices... downstairs to the ER or be admitted.
Because he was dehydrated they had a horrible time getting his IV in. They gave him 400ml of fluid in 2 hours. He slept better in 3 hours today than I think he has all week. They wasnt excited about sending him home afterwards but they did. I just felt my baby needed to be home.
Please continue to pray for us. HE only wants me which makes it very difficult for me to do 24/7.
Well thats all the update I can give he is crying again...

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.
update when we get homeand get settled.

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!
