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 […]

ISAAC UPDATE//

Turns out I’m getting the short end of the stick… First vomit … right here.  Thank you, SO much. He really is doing better.  Nurse Stephanie explained to us that after some labs and an x-ray this morning they think the heart rate drop was from reflux.  They’re continuing to increase his feedings.  He’s now […]

DAY 6// A MINOR SET BACK

(THIS PICTURE IS A LINK TO ISAAC’S PHOTO-A-DAY BLOG) It’s probably no real surprise to anyone for me to say I’m a perfectionist. Nor would it surprise anyone to say that I have a “drive” that pushes me forward. I don’t like standing still. I hate U-turns. And, set backs discourage me. As minor as […]

DAY 4 – BILIRUBIN LAMPS//

My mom tells stories of me being under Bilirubin lamps for a week with Jaundice when I was born (I was also technically a preemie). I don’t think it looked like this: Nurse Kittie (no lie), explained to us that the new Bilirubin lamps are all LED. They are supposedly a little stronger and more […]

DAY 3 RUN DOWN//

When we finally got to a point last night to blog an update, I could hardly keep my eyes open.  So, after the best night’s sleep we’ve had since WED (THANK YOU, DURANS & NIHARTS!!!) we’re finally able to catch everyone up. As the quick mid day post shared yesterday, it’s all became official at […]
