Jason arrived around 11pm on Tuesday night. One of the other NICU moms who is staying at the RMDH stayed with Hannah while Jason and I ran up to see him for an hour. Jason hadn't seen Isaac in almost a month and I think it was good and difficult for him at the same time.
Yesterday we did our normal routine except Jason was with us and that was really nice. There were a few times Jason was playing with Hannah or changing her diaper that I realized how relieved I was that he was here with us. And not just to do things, but to just be a family, together.
Last night, Jason put Hannah to bed and did some work while I went up to the hospital. It was nice to go alone and it was nice to sit and hold Isaac and chat with the nurses. I felt like I didn't have any responsibilities and that was heavenly.
Isaac is about the same. Really, no changes. He has had a surgery consult everyday and so far, no surgery is necessary. We're waiting for this morning's x-rays to come back. BTW, the x-rays are of his gut--they're looking to see if there is air in between his intestines and to see if there are any perforations in his intestines. These are signs of surgery. He had a bit of a breathing episode last night but the nurse said it was probably a result of some other things going on, not because he was just having breathing problems. Every day is critical. I am thankful for every day we have Isaac. Many, many parents in our situation do not have this long.
Done with breakfast, off to get dressed!

A very good morning as I checked a little earlier and there was not a update so I was getting a "little" worried. Needless to say I feel a "lot" better knowing that Isaac is still hanging in there and all of you are okay. PTL!!!!
We are off to two doctor appointments for Papa. Routine! I need to do something with my hair so I am quiting for now.
Christ's Love and Ours Gram and Papa.
I've been staying updated. I am thinking of you often! I am so glad you have your hubby with you. Its not easing being there alone, is it?
I pray Issac comes out of this condition soon...we pray they figure him out SOON! He looks so sweet in the pictures!
Love ya!
