Relaxing a bit

Well...

Tomorrow, Robert's folks go home. It's really been great having them around. I can't seem able to convince them to stay. But, it's true they've got quite abit of a drive ahead of them. They've given me and Robert the chance to relax a little.

Really, it seems life is back to normal. Except for the fact that Isaac's got a canula stuck up his nose for the extra oxygen, you'd never know that we just spent 17 days in a hospital. He seems to be pinking up little by little. And he's eating alot! Thankfully. We figured out how to feed him some of his meds using a bottle and some organic formula I bought. I'm also throwing in some acidophilus for good measure. What with all these antibiotics and all. I'm eager to see some solid stool in his diaper! Solid as a breastfed baby can get, that is. So yeah, Isaac's taking to the bottle. I'm only giving him a little bit, 2 oz, so that he can still be up for some breast milk. It sure is whole lot easier than forcing medicine into his mouth with him hollaring and screaming and spitting it back out.

We still do not have a 100% diagnosis. I have inquired and received no response. hrmph! I sure do have a whole bunch of questions about this, one of the biggest ones I have is how protected from those viral, fungal, and bacterial antigens is he? How much of a functioning immune system does he have? And are they even testing for this? As I am writing this, I am realizing it's probably not good to be so kept in the dark. I think this week I needed to decompress abit. Next week, time to get on the ball.

What else is new? Well, Robert's reading and geeking out on the top chess games of 1993. It seems he'd stay up all night reading about these games. He gets all into it, trying to figure out what move each guy'd make. I've caught up on some sleep. Eating some better food. Trying to get back into a routine. I've thought about getting more organized, paying bills and exercising. But none of that has occurred, yet. Oh, and tomorrow, our new LaZBoy arrives. Yes, exciting.

Ok, more later!
