Happy Monday! We started our day off with the speech therapist. She is working with Isaac trying to get him to drink from his bottle. We finally decided to try a flexible bottle that you can squeeze (this is usually used for kids with cleft palates) and the standard flow nipple that he likes. The therapist could only get him to drink 20cc's...but, at our 6:00pm feediing, nurse Melissa was able to get him to drink 45cc's!!! Following the speech therapist, Isaac was given a ultrasound that showed that he had two full kidneys. So...the kidneys are on the list for further evaluation..(don't worry...he's on lasix..and pee's like a champ!). A plastic surgeon should come by soon for a consult to check out his mouth...he is missing his uvula, but we need to know if he has a cleft palate farther in the back of his mouth and if this will need further correction. He has a sweet nurse tonight named Jessica..so, I know he's in good hands.

He looks more alert in the pictures today. He must be doing a little better. I still say he is going to be a little Joe. Take care!!
