Well...It's Thursday and we MADE IT!!! We had a great night last night...even though my little guy wanted to eat at 11, 1, 3, 5...so, sleep was no where to be found! We had our appointment with Dr. McKnight (the immunologist) and he's ordered blood panels for when Isaac goes in for the heart cath. (what a sweetie...not making him be poked more than necessary--he'll be sedated for the heart cath, so he won't feel this blood draw!). He's going to review Isaac's t-cells and b-cells in July before his heart surgery to make sure he's healthy enough for surgery. He told us to expect a longer recovery time from surgery than a normal baby because of the DiGeorge and his body trying to heal from it. He said Isaac looks great to him. He's got about 25 other DiGeorge patients, so I feel better about the knowledge he has about this syndrome and his monitoring Isaac's progress. Overall, Isaac's had a great day...he's eating all of his bottles, and letting me take pictures! What more can you ask for?
I talked to the boys today...and talked...and talked...mom was at church, and they must have needed some attention. I can't wait to see the little stinkers!
