Wednesday October 26

Okay everyone, it is crunch time.  I apologize for not having written in a few days.  There are a few things going on that have kept me away from the computer in my free time.  They are projecting that Isaac will be coming home as early as this Sunday!!!! So, that being said, David and I are running around getting things done.  They are planning on sending him home on oxygen.  Tomorrow night we have a training session on how to use the oxygen tank.  With the tank comes a monitor which they have all said will unnecessarily go off in the middle of the night.. the true way of telling if Isaac is having an apnea episode is to look at him to see what color he is.  Since he had his last episode on Monday morning, he has to be 5 days free of the apnea before they will send him home.  Today is day one.  They started him again on caffeine (which they found that it reminds them to breathe) yesterday.  So, that is another thing that we have purchase, along with an inhaler, vitamins and formula.  All of this by Sunday.  The other thing is that I have been having some back pain which has moved into my left arm causing my fingers to be numb.  I have started treatments for that today.  Basically David is doing all of the running around to get things accomplished.  I am also trying to finish up work on Friday.  I plan to take at least the month of November off of work so I can get to know my son.  I have to admit that there are times where I don't feel as if I have had a baby.  I am nervous and excited all at once. 

Please pray for David and I as we go through this training together, that we get what is important accomplished by the time Isaac arrives home.  Thank you for your love and prayers.  Honestly, without them we would not be where we are today.  I hope to share Isaac with all of you soon.  I will post more pictures once he is home.

He is currently up to 5 lbs 13 oz.  We may be bringing home a 6 pounder.  He is nothing less than adorable and I know that once we are home together it will feel natural and wonderful!

Love to all!
