What another nice day here in Illinois. David, Arianna and I went to a park this afternoon. Arianna loves to swing. She was the most adventurous than I have ever seen her. She climbed ropes, stairs and slid down a the largest slide. Then we found an empty soccer field and ran around in the open space. I know it doesn't sound too exciting but where we live open grass with no one around is VERY rare! The three of us ran a race back to the car. We were all winded. Okay, I guess I need to start exercising again.
Today I went to see Isaac by myself. David couldn't go because he has the sniffles. The doctor decided to give him another blood transfusion. Hopefully his last. I decided to stay and watch him get the IV put in his hand. I almost left before it started but am so glad that I stayed. I was able to talk to him and comfort him the best I could while they were putting it in his hand. He was such a trooper. The nurse said that this transfusion should be the one that helps boost him in to being able to going home. She said that what is keeping him there is his need for oxygen. So this transfusion should help him with his oxygen level, help him not labor so much to breathe and to help his heart rate stay within range as it has been higher lately.
I took in the bottle for him to get used to. I called the nurse tonight and she said he didn't do too well on it but that they would try again later. I am off tomorrow due to Columbus Day. Therefore, I will be going in early to see him tomorrow and for an extended stay. I love that boy!
Good night!
