I call him lungs

I also call him Slappy because he gets slap happy. Sometimes, I call him bootchie. I have no idea where that one came from.

Well, it's been nearly 12 days since he had his lung biopsy. Alls I can say is at least it's done. I'm not sure how revealing it will in the end. Ah poor li'l isaac to have gone through it. It really was a traumatic ordeal. But the boy's resiliant and is quickly getting back to good health.

Dr. Nichols says he has inflammation, extra cells, in the interstitia, the part of the lung that isn't the alveoli. And these extra cells "sluff off" (or collect) into the alveoli causing the crackling sound. Why there is inflammation, I have a feeling no one will ever know. We are waiting to hear back from Dr Claire Langston, a pathologist at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. This lab specializes in examining for rare pediatric pulmonary disorders. Hopefully, by the end of next week they'll tell us what they know. Only to tell us, they don't know either...

I find myself thinking about the past four or five months. It's just been crazy, i tell you. crazy. on so many levels. dr. ochs says when considering isaac, it's a team effort. all the doctors must collaborate to decide what's best for him. i mean i know where he's coming from. but, at the end of the day, it's not. it's up to me and robert to decide what's best for isaac. we're his parents. i'm not sure what my point is. i'm still trying to figure out the best articulation... it's just that the doctors really don't know that much more than you or i.

ok, the baby wakes, now. adieu for now.
