Waiting






And I thought all the waiting was over when we found out we were going to be parents again.

I talked with one of the nurse practitioners today about Isaac's current condition. They are unsure what is going on with him. There are things his body should be doing but is not. He has symptoms but there are no difinitive answers. He is not as far along as he should be. They are starting to talk about transferring him to another hospital. It sounds as if he may not be discharged for quite awhile--even longer than I have been anticipating--later than November. We have decided that I will not return to OH until we have a better idea what is going on. We love Isaac very much. We want to be with him. However, we have to take this day by day and as for the next few days, we're staying here. Jason suggested that if they do need to transfer him, that maybe they could tranfer him to UofM. So, we'll see what the next few days brings.

Hannah and I ran some errands today and hung out at home this afternoon. Jason and I are hanging out.

Here are the pics of the rooms we've been working on and cute little Hannah.

We'll keep you posted.

Hi Tiffany, I got a new computor and can finally publish a comment. Yea! My old one kept coming up in Korean. David and I continue praying for all of you and hoping you get some definate answers soon. Each time I read your blog, I continue to see how God is good. I'm working M/T and TH/F in Comstock Park and would love to meet for lunch if you can squeeze it in. I'll try calling you tomorrow. Hugs to precious Hannah! Love, Brenda

Hey there, love the pictures especially of Hannah. Of course the rooms look great and it will be nice when Isaac comes home.
I am sorry to hear that he is not up to par at this point. We will have to pray that he catchs up soon and that they can figure out what is going on with that tiny little body of his. It sure would be easier if he could be transfered to UofM, I assume you mean here in MI.

Needless to say HE is keeping you going trying to figure out what to do.

Well back to bed!! Love ya, Gram and Papa.

The rooms look great! I love hard wood floors. Just take Isaac day by day. just as he can go downhill one day, he can come back up the next. It's hard to say how long he will be there. Maybe God is just trying to get him to Michigan!?!?!
I found out last night that I am pregnant only to have a miscarrige today. I had to sit through a transracial adoption class feeling sick and sad. Keep us in your prayers. It still hurts even though we only just found out about it. -Sherry

Wow, great job on the room. It looks splendid (See, still working on finding better words than "cool")

UofM hmm? Well, i hope he will get there. One step at a time and soon he'll be home.

By the way, I had another dream last night. About Isaac. It was something like a faded memory or whatever. A picture of him and Jason when Isaac would be about Hannah's age. And something was etched in my heart. Along the lines of "The great time we had" Dunno what it means but hey...YOU could figure it out :) gives you something to do and research :)

Much love,
Maxi

Hi my family, I am so sorry that it is more and more of the waiting and still no answers. Uof M would be great, if that is the decision. It is not only a wonderful diagnostic center and hospital it is also about 4-5 hours closer! That would make such a difference in your complicated lives. Just know that I am praying and staying optimistic. It is what I need to do. I love you all. Stay strong my baby. Stay strong Son. Tell Hannah that Nana hopes to see her very very soon! To my Grandson, keep fighting, get well, and I love you. I am waiting to meet you Isaac. LOL Mom and Nana. The house looks great! Hannah is growing so much!

Hi Tiffany and Jason,

I've been following along at work, but as you know Tracey and I can't comment there becuase of the irritating software on our computers. Anyway, I finally checked in from home and want you guys to know I'm praying for all of you. It's odd becuase so much of my life right now is consumed with adoption and the NICU but in a way that it sooo different from yours. Hang in there...
