Well today is my original due date. Instead I spent it changing Isaac's diaper, conversing with the in-home nurse and setting up appointments with the Early Intervention staff from the state of Illinois. I would like to thank all of those who alive in Illinois and pay taxes. Without your tax money Isaac wouldn't get some of the plans they have to offer. I have been advised by other moms to take advantage of any program he qualifies for. This is due to the fact that some symptoms may show up later and the programs can prevent further problems. Watching him though you wouldn't even know that he was early. I looked at the problems they look for in a three month old and Isaac already shows signs of being normal. Now his age is adjusted from today. In a month he will be considered a one month old instead of the actual 3 plus months that he truly is.
Tomorrow we have two appointments one with an opthamologist, who is another member of our church. Once again talk about how God goes before us. The next appointment is with the breathing doctor. I am hoping that he will try to start weaning him off of the oxygen (my third child-it follows me everywhere I go). I hope they don't take off the sticky circles on his face that hold the cannula. It has taken me three sets of new circles to get it right!
Please pray for me and David as we get used to being on our own with the two kids. Due to the nature of davids job he has to go to bed so early every night that I am left finishing up down on the first floor in order to get another feeding for Isaac before we go to bed. I am hoping that I don't get too exhausted as tonight he Isaac cried for about two hours...unfortunately his fussy time can move from early afternoon to evening with no warning at all!
I am getting very sleepy so good night!
