Isaac looks so good. His liver functions seem to be improving. They have almost doubled his morphine and versed to keep him comfortable and still. May gave him a little wash down and he just looks so peaceful resting. His temp is maintaining....no higher or lower. He had a ng tube placed in his nose to help decompress his belly (his g tube is also opened)...but, they have now removed the ng tube....g tube is still venting. He is off of his calcium. He has 2 drainage tubes that are draining at a moderate rate. He is quite swollen now....the lasix will start tonight. They are still suctioning him alot...lots of junk to get out before it settles. He has a central line, arterial line, broviac line, and 3 ivs....whoooo...and his pacer wires in place. There are talks of getting him in the cath lab on Tuesday or Wednesday....which means that he will remain on the ventilator a few days after that.
I'm so glad that Joe's here. He let me take a nap this afternoon while he sat with Isaac and now I'm sitting with Isaac while he takes a break.
Chris amd Eli seem to be doing good, Aunt Mandy will visit them this weekend, and everyone loves looking at pics of my new niece...her birthday is the day we will now call Isaac's heart day....how sweet!
Terri...all the nurses still talk about you....and I tell them all that you won't come visit me....it cracks them up!

Go Isaac! I know you will be getting better and better every single day. I can't wait for you to come home so we can play!
YES, Aunt Mandy is making her way to Vegas to hang out with Eli and Chris. Hey Terri, mom and I can meet up with you and do something. Then we can really pick on Kat since she is only a few minutes away and we are hours and hundred of miles away. Okay really, the boys are already making plans. Hopfully I can get them to have fun without their mom and dad. Don't get me wrong, grandma Judy is there but no one's better then Aunt Mandy when it comes to going to M&M world!!
MAY GOD BLESS ISAAC & HIS FAMILY , WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HIM
Ahh, and update!! I just turned off Matthew's feeding pump and had to check the blog!!! Poor little guy.... he must be awful uncomfortable... Hugs....
Kathy,
Crabby Old Man has been watching over Matthew since he was at Stanford, too... I love him so much... he's from Texas. In fact, I need to call him, he left me a sweet message on my phone the other day... You got yourself a wonderful prayer bear.

re: me not making it to your house yet....GAH!!! I feel awful guilty...
I am LMBO at Mandy's comment....

Oh Kathy, You know I love ya more than my luggage!!!

Hoping you'll be home by Thanksgiving!!!
Thinking of you all day and a lot of the night time.... since I'm usually awake anyway.

What wonderful news...Isaac is such a strong little guy! I am glad that Joe is there so that you can take a rest...Jonathan tended to stay away from the hospital when Micah was there, so I never really had a break.
Lots of prayers still going your way.
Love,
Samantha
So happy to hear the news today. Isaac is on his way to recovery!! Take rests whenever you can. Being in the hospital is draining.
