My weekend is coming to an close.... sad... Mom and dad were here for a few days which brought a lot of laughter into their lives. I think Arianna loves to make them laugh. She loves to hide from Poppy and Nena and she read books to each other. Poppy had her in the back of his truck walking around (like he he did when he was a kid). She seemed to not want to get out of the bed of his truck.
Isaac is doing well today. I went there to spend an extended stay with him and ended up spending about 3 1/2 hours. I have to say that is the longest I have been there visiting him. He just wouldn't nurse. He was so tired. I think maybe he had a party in his crib last night because he was tuckered! He had eaten earlier in the day and was awake but I guess he needed his beauty sleep. He finished his blood transfusion today too. So he had 2 of them over the past two days. I just spoke to tonight's nurse. She said that he ate 50 mls for her tonight and seemed to be awake. Later tonight she was going to give him a "wishy washy" which she said would make him feel better. I thought that was the cutest name for a bath! She also said that he had a sore on the outside of his cheek where one of the stickers oare to keep his nasal cannula in place. So she said that might have been irritating him which caused him not to eat very well earlier in the day.
One of the head nurses came by today and said once again that the only thing keeping him there is the oxygen. She decided to stop his caffiene today so he will not be getting any more doses. She also said they will start weaning him off of some of the oxygen and other things so he will be ready to go home soon...We have an appointment with a hospital crew next Tuesday to go over what will happen when he goes home... I am getting so excited. I think the neighbors will think he is adopted. As I don't look pregnant anymore (I can see my extra weight!) because I don't have the big tummy....
I better go.. have to start storing up on sleep before he gets home!
