Isaac officially has croup. Of course, it took a doctor visit and orders to the ER for me to believe that something could possibly be wrong with my little bug.
Chest X-rays, blood work, snot specimen (it was gross), and it was determined that he did NOT have pneumonia or RSV (a very contagious and […]

I just got a phone call from our pulmonary nurse practitioner, Karen Braniff, from Children’s Hospital of Michigan.  And the news is very good.  At Isaac’s last sleep study in October 2006, he had 72 central apnea events in 9.2 hours.  At his sleep study this last week (March 2007), he had only 10 episodes […]

Isaac is indeed growing his fingernail back!  It is about 1/4 of the way grown back in and looks a thousand time better than it did!  In fact, the photographer thinks he will do great in the modeling arena and they hadn’t even noticed that his hand looked a little marred.
Yes, we are still waiting […]

Friday night was the last medical adventure on the week!   Isaac did very well for his sleep study.  Results can take up to two weeks to get back. We will keep you posted.
Now for the fun stuff! Zeb took a vacation day on Monday, and we are going to Chicago.  Wish we were riding the […]

We are now officially down, not just by two doc appointments, but by two specialists!  Isaac will n longer have to see the orthopedic surgeon (until he breaks an arm or a leg, face it, he’s my child, it will happen!) or the hematologist.
Dr. Cushing, our hematologist, has declared that Isaac has quirky blood and […]

So…Isaac had his last visit to the Orhopedic surgeon this afternoon.  They unwrapped his hand, looked at it.  Gave us orders to watch that the swelling goes down within 48 hours and at least 30 minutes of splashing fun every other day.  He does not have to keep his hand wrapped any more, and his […]

Church is going great!  Just thought for those who keep up with the blog, we’d let you know what’s happening.
1. Zeb and Pastor Bert are meeting again on Saturday mornings.  Zeb has really missed these mornings and I am so glad they are going to get them going again!
2. Women’s Bible study and new Sunday […]

Here’s an update on his tiny little hand.
We are now at the 15 minute Splash Fest (Doctor ordered), with 15 minutes of air drying after.  Infant Ibruprofen is an amazing thing!  A dose 1/2 and hour before the Splash Fest keeps him quite happy in the bath for more than his ordered 15 minutes (without […]

Ok…Isaac had a Cole moment this morning.  Here’s the thing.  We don’t have drawers within Isaac’s reach at home.  But we’re not at home this week since we are house/dog sitting for the Aldworth family.  Guess what!?  They have drawers! Not just any drawer mind you, but the BIG drawer under the TV on the […]
