Day 3

Still in the PICU, but we may be moving back down to the Oncology floor since his blood pressure has somewhat stabled. His readings are in the 130's/70's. The nurses are fantastic here. I could not ask for more. The nurse we had last night took Isaac for a walk, she made him a bottle and fed him, and had him outside at her station so I could sleep. Other nurses would come by and hold him as well. Helped me out tremendously, and I do not feel like a zombie like I did on Saturday from the lack of sleep.

Urologist came in today around 11:30 am, along with the social worker from Oncology. No new news, but we have a surgery date : Wednesday, December 23 at 8:30 a.m.

Also, we hit a small bump in the road. Isaac tested positive for MRSA. We are not sure how he got it, or if he has the actual infection or if it is "colonized". They will most likely start him on antibiotics soon.

Meanwhile, he is sitting in his crib, playing with his toys happily. He likes the loud noise the metal crib makes when he bangs his toys against it.

They gave him a IV dose of Rocephin for the MRSA. Everyone comes in wearing a yellow gown, and a mask. I have to wear a yellow gown only.

We moved back down to the Oncology floor at 7:00 p.m.
