Isaac is looking better everyday.  They upped his food intake (which goes through a tube into his tummy).  They are now at 9ml every 3 hours.  He is keeping the food down but lost a little bit of weight today.  The took the bubble C-PAP out of his nose to give his nose a rest.  So his head and face are now very visible.  Looking into that face makes us fall in love all over again.  David held him tonight and his eyes kept opening up to look around.  He was so happy being held. When they put him back in his isolette he was on his back and looked so content.  He was still asleep like he didn't know he had been removed from his daddy.  There is nothing like holding him.  His body is as big as both of your hands.  He rests nicely inside a shirt... we are tempted to make a run for it and see how far we could get.  He is so tiny, I don't think anyone would notice... for about 10 minutes.  Then all of the monitors would beep and rat us out... so we are patient and wait for him to grow grow grow so we can take him home without all of the tubes and monitors.
