Easter, Piecings and Hospital Visits

Yesterday was an interesting day. First off, over the weekend Isaac was doing so fantastic that we were able to take him off the oxygen for 5 hours! I was shocked when the nurse woke me up yesterday morning to tell me that he had a fever and needed 3 liters of oxygen. What??! While waiting for the doctors office to call me back, I helped Autumn dye Easter eggs. At least it helped me stay sane for a minute or 2. By noon his heart rate was staying between 175 and 180 beats per minute. When I finally got a hold of the doctor's office, they didn't want to touch him with that heart rate and suggested taking him to the ER.....sigh. The good news is that he doesn't have RSV. I'm waiting for the hospital to call me back now as they want to send him home by tomorrow or maybe even today. He has to be home for Easter and his birthday!

On a positive note, Autumn got her ears pierced over the weekend! Here are her beautiful earrings.

How Many?

How many diapers can one little man go through in one day?? Isaac is still struggling after getting the cdiff. I thought he was doing better, but the past 2 days he's been going through diapers like mad. The pediatrician said it will run it's course, but I'm wondering when they think it will run it's course. I'm waiting for them to call me soon. So far I've tried every probiotic in the book and nothing is really working. So please pray for some relief!! And soon!

On a fantastic note, we had a blood gas drawn yesterday and his Co2 (carbon dioxide) levels are significantly lower than they were a couple of weeks ago. He was in the red zone right after we took him home, which makes a Mom a little worried. The pulmonlologist was pleased and wants him to continue using bi-pap at night, which seems to be helping him a great deal.

Oh, I forgot to mention my birthday! My family came over and we had pizza, cake and presents. Isaac got some belated Christmas presents too! He enjoyed getting some holding time with Autumn and his cousin Chelstie.
I also got a new cookbook from my Nana. I admit, the title threw me off at first, but it has some fast and easy recipes. Just what I needed! Thanks Nana!At the end of day it was time for Isaac to get some serious napping in with his Daddy.
