Yikes!
As of last night, Isaac has been moved to a room with other babies so Hannah can no longer come up to see him. This means, I cannot go, either. Someone sent me the contact information for Young Life in Cleveland (great idea!) and I called and left a message. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I do not want to put Hannah in danger by allowing just anyone to take care of her, however, I cannot see Isaac if I have no one to help take care of her. The hospital has an activity room for patients to play in and I took her there earlier this week, but the volunteer brought her to me after only 15 minutes or so saying she was asking for me....I'm going to keep trying this avenue, but I'm not sure the volunteers are prepared to handle an active 2 year old...

Wow! A room with other babies? Does that mean he has been upgraded, or just they way they admit the NICU kids? I hope its the upgrade :)
I am so terribly sorry about not having any luck with care for Hannah, it must be so hard. I wish I could do more.
So I will continue to pray that this works its self out.
Blessings
Hey Tiff,
Sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds to me like maybe going with a childcare center of some kind might be the best idea right now. It would give you some time with Isaac, and alone, too. And it would be good for Hannah to have a different environment with lots of toys and other kids to play with. And you'd be able to trust the workers. I know that the hard part is the money. And I will be praying that somehow God will bless you with that. It is important for Isaac to see you, and I know how much you want to hold him. I can see how frustrating the situation would be. Then maybe if someone volunteers to help out with watching Hannah, you could use that when it's a weekend, or you need to do something that's not everyday. Who knows, maybe someone will come to the surface who is reliable and is able to watch her regularly. People love you and are praying for you.
I agree Yikes!!! If it isn't one thing it is another for you. I tried calling you a while ago but there was not a answer and I did not leave a message. I figured you must be somewhere that you could not pick up the call. I hope that you were able to go see Isaac this morning, something "might" have worked out even if it is just for 15 minutes it is better than nothing.
Hi to Jason and Hannah to.
Love ya, Gram
There is an Adoption Network in Cleveland. Perhaps they have some ideas? I'll find the phone number and get it to you. Also, see if your home church or Rivertree has a 'sister' church in the area that might be of help

It's a start!

Hi Tiff, Gram again. You know what "we" all have to agree that Isaac will come back to Michigan sooner than later. Wouldn't that be great. It is like the tower of Babel in the Bible. When the people came to agree the Lord stopped them off as they were not in agreement with the Lord. We are "all" in agreement that this all works out for Isaac and of course you Tiff, Jason and Hannah. The Lord is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow so we have a choice. RIGHT!! Needless to say I am looking forward to so many of your "friends" being in agreement with us in prayer!! Isaac will be coming home to Michigan soon. Let's ALL agree!! Praise The Lord as I have said so many times before.
Thanks to all of your friends for being there for you. If they are not we will pray for them anyway. The Lord will Bless those that Bless you according to the WORD!! That is the Lord talking not me!
Lots of Love/and of course Hugs when you need them.
Gram and Of course Papa.
Lots of Love, Gram and Papa.
Amen to Grams comment!!! I am standing in agreement!!!
Love you all,
Rebecca
Hi my family, We are back. I am also curious about Isaac's move? I too am hoping it is an upgrade in his condition that allows him to be in a nursery type ICU. My only suggestion at this point for Hannah's care is to talk to the staff at the hospital and the R.M.House to find out where they or their families and friends take kids for daycare. Contact a few of the churchs in the immediate area about people that could come to the R.M. House for an hour or 2 or they might have daycare situations during the week for non-schoolage children. Maybe there are some other moms with the same situation that have children as patients and you could each trade some time babysitting. Best of luck and I'll be praying. My love to you all, and hoping to see you real soon. Love Mom and Nana
