Jason arrived late this afternoon...just in time for all of us to walk in with John Madden. It was pretty cool. No, we're not asking for autographs. However, we did buy a football today just in case they offer...it would be neat to have for Isaac when he gets older.
We were hoping to hold Isaac tonight, but, no. Honestly, it's very frustrating. That's all I have to say about that. My grandma asked about Isaac's weight. He now weighs 2 pounds 1 ounce. He had a bit of a jump in his weight that isn't necessary good, but so far hasn't been an issue. At this point, he should be gaining, on average, a little less than an ounce per day. He still continues to get vitamins and fats but he hasn't had formula for a few days due to his heart problem. For my own sanity, I really hope we can hold him tomorrow.
We decided to take Hannah to Pizza Hut tonight for dinner. She loves pizza and we haven't had it since we arrived here. We ordered half pepperoni for Jason and half supreme for Hannah and I. I thought I'd be able to trick her into eating some vegetables...no luck. She's rejecting fruit now, too. In her mind, the four major food groups are pizza, hot dogs, nuggets and french fries. I'm not giving up, though!
We received a few care packages today. It was wonderful!!! I love to get mail! Most of it is for Hannah, but it's still fun for me to open, too. Her toy drawer is now overflowing! Thank you all very much.
We love hearing from all of you. Your comments and emails are very encouraging. We appreciate your prayers and support.
Did I mention that I'm a little frustrated? It's inhibiting my writing juices. Jason and I are going to watch some TV. Thank you so very much for praying for us. Right now, we need it.
Much love and appreciation.

Is there anything that I can do for you? We live about 40 minutes away...so please let me know what you need. Holly called me last week and I hope so much my brother-n-law was able to help you with hotels. Are you allowed to stay in his room at the hospital? It was hard for us to do that since Maylee was at a different hospital and our 3 yr old at home.
We know what this feels like. To think we were going through this 10 months ago.
Please email me, I'd love to helo you.

Okay, I just read that you are paying $140 a night! WHAT??? We need to figure something else out here. My bro-n-law can find something so much cheaper. He does it all online. I thought for sure he got ahold of you.
EMAIL ME, only if you get spare time.
