Today I was the only one who went to visit Isaac today. David still has a sore throat and Arianna has a runny nose. We had to miss church again today, second week in a row, due to her runny nose. Anywho Isaac has been having more of the brady cardia episodes lately. Today they decided to perform a 12 hour sleeping test. They do not count the brady's when he is eating (again the brady cardia is when his heart rate dips below a certain level due to him not breathing) but only when he is sleeping or resting. They think that the reason why he is having them is due to reflux. This test is being formed as I type. It is one with a probe down his nose that goes into his stomach. I think Isaac has had more medical procedures performed on his 10 week old body then most people do by the time they are 40. Anyway, I am believing that through these tests, and possible further action, that they will be able to pinpoint what is going on and that we will be able to bring Isaac home within the next few weeks. He will be 38 gestational weeks old tomorrow. This is only 2 weeks away from my original due date. I think I am ready for him to come home now. I have his beds (one upstairs and one on the main floor) ready and his clothes washed.
They are projecting that he will come home on oxygen (I might have already written this information) and therefore he will have monitors for us to watch. This actually would be good for me since I don't want to stay awake every night to make sure he is breathing. The monitors will alert us to anything that might be going on.
We will keep you updated on his progress even when he gets home. Thank you for sticking by us through this process!
