Isaac Update-Sugar Fixed

So, after Isaac's feedings have gone up to almost 2 ounces, they were able to take him off the dextrose drip. They are still checking his sugar levels just to make sure, but they have said that he is doing fine. Now we have to worry about his feeding. He is still getting feedings by NGT and it seems that when he is moved around during his feeding, he'll spit up some of it. So, doctors are not really sure what to do about his feedings. Hopefully soon we can get him to bottle feed. That's what I'm worried about at the moment. More bad news is that they have found bacteria growing where his picc line is, and so now that line has to come out. Yesterday, his nurse put an IV on his foot, so that will be how he gets his antibiotics. His nurse today told me that there is also talk of moving him to the step down floor (15th floor). I think its great in a way especially because we can stay with him 24 hours but also scary because its a private room where nurses have more than two patients. If he gets moved, a parent has to stay with him 24 hours...and its understandable...I wouldn't leave him by himself for hours at a time. I'm not really sure how the system up there works. But anyways, we are still trying to find out when he can be put back on active on the list. And of course, we'll let you know when he will be. Please keep praying that his infection will go away soon and that as soon as he is back on active for his new heart to come along. God Bless you all!
