Isaac is 3 weeks old today...and to celebrate...we were able to take him HOME!!!! There were last minute blood tests to confirm his calcium and potassium levels were in normal range...and they were. They did another ultrasound scan of his kidneys...and they are not as full...so, all is well with the kidneys! We were sent home giving him only aspirin every other day and lasix every 12 hours. We were taken very good care of by all of the doctors and nurses in the NICU...but, we did not shed a tear when we pulled out of the parking lot!!! Isaac has been an angel since we have been home. We got home around 4pm today. He's had two feedings...and slept like a champ. We are so proud of the progress that he's made...and hopeful that he's going to keep surprising us and the doctors! Tristen and Chris went to the mall tonight (prom dress shopping)...Joe and Eli did the grocery shopping....and I took a breather on my couch! Grandma Sue flies in tomorrow night. We're still feeding Isaac on the same schedule they had him on in the NICU...every three hours (12-3-6-9)...so, as much as it breaks my heart to wake a sleeping baby, we'll be up all night!!! (You normally try to get your baby to hurry and sleep through the night...but, in Isaac's case, he needs all the weight we can put on him before his surgery...so, it's all day and night feedings for him!). Thanks for all your calls...and here's hoping we have a great night!
