Healing

Isaac had another eye exam yesterday to be certain that the ROP eye issue is still improving. The great news is that it is getting better, in other words the are healing and he is growing out of it! We are so excited that as the doctor put it "he is progressing nicely out of ROP". We are getting the monitor memory downloaded tomorrow. This is where they will be able to tell if the alarms that we have had are true alarms. We are hopeful for a good report in this area as well. Isaac has not had an alarm in quite a while. His nightly sleeping is also getting better. I am not sure if I am getting more sleep but at least I am not sleeping in the chair as long. I think I am even getting longer periods of sleep in my own bed. We are amazed at how much he has progressed. The NICUs across the US call Caucasian boys wimpy white boys because they are typically the ones that progress the slowest whenborn premature. If you look at isaac, he looks anything but wimpy! He is strong and chunky! He is getting a double chin and looks just like a little 2 1/2 month old baby. I know he will be six months old on the 12th but he is sure looking good!

As for his sister....she still amazes David and me. Tonight she and David were going over a scripture In Ephesians. David started out the verse and arianna finished it for him. If I wasn't standing there listening I wouldn't have believed it. She has such a good memory! Tonight she saidS:"when we have my birthday party...." I wasn't sure I was going to have q birthday party for her... But I guess she thinks I am.

Sorry it has been so long since I have written. Time flies these weeks. I am falling asleep now and I need to stay awake to fold a load of laundry and make a lunch for tomorrow!
