Isaac's nurse last night put him in a "big boy" crib and set his mobile up for him....he looks even smaller in such a big crib! By the way, he now weighs in at 7lbs2ozs. We started off the morning with him drinking only about 10cc's from his bottle...because they came in to do an echo on his heart. They measured his pulmonary artery (among other things) and found it to have grown a little (and that is GOOD news!). At his noon feeding, he drank only 7cc's...he was too tired to drink anymore. By his afternoon feeding...my little guy drank 25cc's...WHOO HOO!!! But, then by his 6pm feeding...he was too tired again, and only drank 10cc's. He's doing great though...we're being as patient as we can...but, we sure do wish this little guy would get the hang of eating so that we could take him home! We haven't received any new lab reports...the ones we're waiting on are a panel showing his t-cell count and his chromosome test results. Chris and Eli are so excited to be back home...and I haven't been so happy to see those stinkers in a long time! Joe and I will start staying with Isaac in shifts on Friday...so that we can spend some time with Eli and Chris and maintain some sanity....sitting in that uncomfortable hospital chair for 12 hours a day can wear on you! Enjoy the pictures from today....and thanks for all your well wishes, flowers, outfits...and love...we love you all!

He looks so cute in that crib!

He's just as handsome as ever. I love that mobile. It's like mine that plays classical music. Does yours?

Kat, that crib is big enough for you to crawl in with him. He'd love that!

Like the old folks would say, "Put some Karo syrup in that bottle, that will fatten him up!" That must have been what happened to our side of the family!

The two of you need to get some rest. Tristen leaves next week and the work will really begin.
