What can we say about today. Happy Easter?? We spent the day at the hospital...Chris and Eli are still with Christy...It will be great to have all three boys in our house reaking havic in one place!!! Isaac's weight is still about 7lbs 1oz. His feeds were increased to 60cc's (2 ounces) every three hours. He was taken off his IV!!! Now, he only has monitor cords attached to him. On Saturday night, nurse Lisa thought she noticed that Isaac was missing his uvula (the dangling thing in the back of your throat). She thought this may be some of the cause of his feeding issues. On Sunday, nurse Carla also couldn't see the uvula and reported it to Dr. Ekpouda (i'll find the correct spelling later). Dr. E came over to check it today....and to his amazement...it was absent. That made his sit back and scratch his head! So, tomorrow, we will have speech therapy come over again to work on other methods to feed him and a plastic surgeon that specializes in cleft palates will come and take a look at him. Although this new finding does not make me happy in any way...it is good to maybe know the problem with his feedings so that we can now work on correcting the issue and getting my butterball home!!! Let's hope we have a great week ahead!

You all are handling this so well. Hang in there and know "this is for but a small moment". What a special spirit you have!!!
We love you!
Kat,
You should be here to listen to Grandma Cat telling Me what to tell YOU to do. It's a "been there done that moment". She has lots to tell you....you need to call her when you have hours to talk. Give
Isaac a kiss for me.
MOM
