Isaiah did great and we are home...

What a miracle God has given us.

Isaiah was taken back for surgery at 1:40. Dr.s came to see us at 5:20. I am sure I will leave details out but here is the gest of it....

They were able to close his lip and reshape his nose. They also put tubes in both ears. ENT dr said that there was a lot of fluid behind his ears. They could no close his gum. Dr. said that was not important at this time. His teeth would still develop and probaly do better. I would be lying if I said I wasn't dissappointed. I am thinking of later down the road for him. Now we know that another surgery is in the cards for us. Sometime when he is six or seven.

We were called back to see him about 6:10. he looked so peaceful and so perfect laying there. He looked different but so precious. As a momma i wanted to scoop him up and check and make sure every part of him was ok. He did so good. They moved us to a room. A room with another baby. She was probaly about a month old. Parents left her and went to dinner. She screamed, isaiah cried. I new I couldn't keep this up all night. Finally I went to nurse and insisted they move us, which the charge nurse was awonderful. We were moved into another room with another baby, 3 weeks old this time. But they did farely well. together.

I found out today while talking to the mom that baby has been in hospital whole time. Her husband was involved in an auto accident and is in the hospital next door on life support. His name is Samuel. If you have a moment please lift this family up in your prayers.

Isaiah took 13oz of pedilyte from 8pm til 2:30 when I insisted the give him milk. He took about 20 oz from then til noon today. A big fear of mine was that he would not eat without his NAM well God showed up and showed off here as well. He abundantly ate!

We are home. I am exhausted. Dave is Exhausted. Isaiah has been fussy buy after more pain med kicked in is now resting comfortably.

I have pictures to add but have to find the camera cord first. I will do that after I take a short nap.

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers,
Amy

So do you think its ok if I am a little scared?

ok so not little scared but completely and totally freaked out of my mind! Ok so I know that God has already went before us and paved the way. I dont doubt for a minute that our God cant show up and show off but as a momma this is crazy. The fear for this surgery has always been there but it seems that it is getting very intense these days. I look at his precious face and I think what a true miracle he is. He has been such a blessing in our lives. But once again theres the fear. The fear of the unknown....
How long will the surgery take? What will the outcome be? Will they be able to close his gum? What will his scar look like? How will he be able to eat afterwards without his NAM? How much pain will my precious baby be in afterwards? I just have so many questions?
Part of me is actually looking forward to the surgery. Sounds crazy I know but people can be so cruel. I can't wait until his lip is joined together. Grant you I love his smile right now but when someone looks at me and says whats wrong with your baby? I want to slap them. I am thankful that he is not old enough to understand them. In my eyes he is already perfect but this will be an added bonus for him.
Ok I think I am rambling. My mind is just so full of thoughts this week. Dave is away at school this week which always creates choas. He arrives home Friday evening and we are heading out for flordia to move his parents stuff back here. We will arrive home Tuesday evening and we are due to report to pittsburgh tuesday night. I am pretty sure we have to be at the hospital at 7:30 wednesday morning. Just thinking about it I am getting crazy again.
Although I am scared let me make it clear that we trust GOD ALMIGHTY completely with our baby boy. I know that God has great plans for him. I am excited for the end result. Please lift our family up your your prayers. Our family will be seperated for the next couple of weeks. Isaiah will have steri strips across his lip for two weeks and will be in arm splints for three weeks. He will no longer have his NAM which will be a struggle regarding feeding issues. We will be at the hospital 2-5 days.

Good night... my mind and body is tired.

Quick update from Pittsburgh

Things are going great so far and Moose has went back to his usual weight gain. He gained 10 ozs this week to put him at 17 pounds and 13 ounces.

They gave him a real good check over. He has been cranky for a few days and they wanted to make sure he wasn't trying to get sick. Everything seemed fine. I guess he's just a MAN, right?

Will have more pictures to add tonight.

Surgery on the 15th... YEAH!!!
