Roll Over, Isaac

Yes, Isaac had a turning moment, today. He rolled over from his belly to his back today several times. Sometimes he doesn't get it on the first try and he lets a shriek of frustration, but he tries again and succeeds. So far he's only rolled to the right.

Well, we've just returned from a two day stay at the hospital. We went because it seemed like Isaac wasn't eating as well and he was exerting a lot more effort to breathe. Isaac's working very hard these days. Working harder than George Bush, I would say. When he breastfeeds he breathes heavily about 5-10 times in between swallows. And his latch isn't always that strong. Fortunately, it is easier for him to eat from a bottle.

Anyway, we are home because we can support Isaac him as well as they can at the hospital. We have him on extra oxygen. He's been set up with a feeding tube for supplemental nighttime feeding. He needs as much sustenance as possible to fuel his labored breathing, his healing as well as his normal baby development. It's good to be home, I must say.

On the morning of our discharge I awoke with a stomach-ache which progressed into a nice debilitating bout of food poisoning. Yes, NEVER EAT HOSPITAL FOOD!!!!! I am all better, now.
