Day 7

Merry 1st Christmas to my sweet baby Isaac.

I went home last night, so I was able to spend Christmas morning with our other munchkins. It was hard leaving Isaac, but I know that he is in good hands - with Daddy and the nurses. Thankfully, he does not know what Christmas is, and it will pass as any other day would with him.

Daddy said that they came in at 1:30 am., and removed the IV in his foot. It was backing up with the IV fluid and was causing him a lot of pain.


They then removed his arterial line at 5:30 a.m.,


to which it left a large blister. He is guessing it is from the splint.

The catheter was removed at 8:15 a.m.


He said they also took him off the ECG, and pulse oximeter. I am so glad he is free of all those wires!

He did good all night, and only had Tylenol with Codeine.

They moved down to the oncology floor at 7:45 a.m.

An oncologist (one of the many) came in and said that we may be able to take him home this weekend! As long as he is healing as he is now, he feels there is no reason we have to stay since there is nothing they can do for him treatment wise at this point. He said that we can wait it out at home for the Pathology report, and bring him back when we have a treatment plan. That is awesome news! It is so hard to walk in our room and see an empty crib. My baby should be in there, babbling at 5:00 a.m., letting me know that he is ready to start the day.

Daddy offered for me to stay home for another night, reassuring me that everything is okay with Isaac, and he can manage. I was hesitant, but obliged since I have gotten VERY little sleep in the past 7 days. I have lost 6-pounds within a week.
