Isaac has been extubated!!!! He is free to move around, cry, wiggle and most of anything he can do. We're so excited. Its been since Easter that we've been able to hold him or even hear him. He kind of scared himself when he pursed his lips together and made bubbles. He had been put on just a nasal cannula for oxygen, but after the xray (done after extubation) one of his lungs was partially collapsed. Now he is on a cpap machine until his lung can inflate itself,which will hopefully be tomorrow after his morning xray. Then maybe then we can hold him. Tonight we left the hospital a little worried because Isaac hadn't peed in 7 hours. We're hoping that after the extra dose of lasix he will and so they won't have to put in a foley. The only other new changes recently was that they also had to give him a little extra blood. No big deal on that. Isaac will stay in CVICU for a few more days to make sure he does well off of the ventilator. After he's stable for a few days, he will either move to NICU or to step-down on the 15th floor. Its also a great day today because Isaac is three months old. What a great 3 month present for him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY ISAAC!!
On another note, Eli came this Memorial weekend and will be staying with us for at least a week again. Yesterday, we took him to the Museum of Natural Science and the Children's Museum. We all had great fun!
Sorry the update is so short. With all the excitement and Eli being here, we were just a little busy. I'll try to upfate more tomorrow. And if he's off of the cpap, I'll take pictures of our little man. You wouldn't believe how big he is. They are really trying to beef him up.
