Isaiah's second surgery

We got the call last week that Isaiah's surgery that was scheduled for 12-29 had to be rescheduled. The date was... 12-3.

Went to pittsburgh today. Met with dr. Lossee. (I really miss Dr. Jaing!) we were given some of the details of the surgery. We know that the surgery will last atleast 4 hours. We will find out wednesday what time surgery will be. The ENT dr came in and suctioned out his ears. That was horrible but he was a trooper. By the time we got home the were filled up again.

Tomorrow is picture day.. will post the results..

My lil miracle is ONE!

I can't believe the day has come and gone so quickly. It seems like yesterday we were welcoming him into this world. Wow what a year this has been.

Isaiah took his first steps the night before his birthday. He walked from mommy to daddy. What more could you ask for.

We are working on transition from formula to whole milk and from bottle to cup. Can't believe his next surgery is right around the corner.

Will be having his party in the next week. I can't wait to post pictures.

Isaiah cut his first tooth!

My baby is getting bigger... After three days of being fussy, a tooth popped through on friday evening. He seems so proud. Just biting eveything. Loves chewing on burp clothes. I think of him being Linus. I think several more are on the way..... We will see how long it takes them to come through.

Will try to post a picture soon. I am also scheduling pictures of all the kids soon. I can't wait.

Isaiah's dr appt

We went monday back to childrens for a follow up. We met the new surgeon. They have scheduled his palate surgery for December 29. He has another double ear infection. They gave us another antibotic and drops. We go back in a month. At that point they will deceide if they need to take the tubes out and put new ones in. They couldn't do his hearing test. Hopefully when we go back they can. Dave also has to go back in a month so we are trying to schedule together, We will see if that works out for me....

Isaiah is sitting up for longer periods of time now. Its so cute to see him meet this milestone. If he is laying on a pillow he can even sit himself up from that position. No teeth yet but seems to be working on it. He was very fussy yesterday so maybe that had something to do with it. That and the fact that he is a momma's boy! I don't mind but with Dave down for the count it makes it a little rougher. I dont understand his need to be social for an hour or so starting at 3 or 4 in the morning....

Gonna try to add new pictures soon...

Dave out of the hospital

They discharged from the hospital yesterday. After isaiah's appointment at childrens yesterday then i took the kids home and turned around and drove staight back up here to get him. We stayed here last night. I wanted to give him some time to recover before heading home.

God has blessed us so much this week. HE has placed some wonderful people in our lives during this trial that I am honored to call friends now. I have been staying at their house this week and brought Dave up here to rest comfortably last night. I am getting things ready and we will be leaving to go home this afternoon.

Again thank everyone of our friends and family for your prayers and support for our family during this time. It truely means a lot to us.

Love,
Amy
