SLOW DOWN EDDIE//
This is what I’ve felt like all day … I think my barista slipped me leaded this morning. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12jwC65KD70&hl=en&fs=1] Then there’s this: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrGHVdhH1zw&hl=en&fs=1] The Elaine isn’t that good but the others, are pretty spot on!

MEMORIAL DAY//
When I was a kid, at least the way I remember it, Memorial Day was one of the days we knew Dad would be home. He was a policeman for nearly 30 years and much of that time he spent working as a detective meaning he could always get called out on case. But, holidays, […]

A COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE I GO TO BED//
#1. We know a lot of people are praying for Isaac and for us. It’s down to the last issue. As previously stated, he’s had some heart rate drops that are keeping him from passing his car seat test. Tonight was no different. I talked to the nurse about 15 minutes ago and he made […]

MY VIEWS ON TODAY’S ABORTION PROTESTS//
As we drove in this morning to visit Isaac in the NICU, Michigan Street (SR 31 through South Bend) was littered with protesters over President Obama’s stance on stem cell research and abortion as well as his receiving an honorary degree from a Catholic institution. Let me pause and say that I believe in the […]

NICU: 11 DAYS IN//
(CLICK FOR TODAY’S PHOTO) Today started like the other 10 days we’ve been here. We got up, called the NICU for a report, and drove in to see him. Our phone report sent our emotions through the roof. All tubes were taken out this morning. Yesterday, they took him off any O2 support, and this […]

DAY 10//
Today has been a good day… if you’ll notice the picture, the nasal cannula is gone! This morning at about 9:45 they took him off all breathing support and he’s doing well! At 11:30, Angie fed him his whole bottle (all 45cc’s). This was the second in a row today! They’re going to leave the […]

DAY 9// STAYING AWAKE
(LINK TO TODAY’S PHOTO) Time in the NICU is like time nowhere else. It just disappears. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re sitting here staring at our son or if it’s because it’s so different than the rest of life. It’ll feel like we’ve been there for 15 minutes and it’s been 2 hours. […]

MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SOMEONE//
Tonight was a little different for us than the last week has been. Tonight we ate a home cooked meal that didn’t consist of peanut butter and jelly (Peter Pan & Raspberry Smuckers Jam on wheat… the best). Ma-Cindy, Isaac’s new MI grandmother, had made some chicken noodle soup from scratch last night and offered […]

DAY 7//
Isaac is a week old today… is that a “birthday” to celebrate? Either way, we are celebrating him like it’s our job! Last night was a good night. – His little lungs are still progressing. The nurse is hoping to ween him down a little slowly today. – He’s taking his feedings by bottle! It […]
