Isaac's blood counts shot back up today which was great but a bit surprising. Because of this and because he has been fever free for more than 24 hours they decided that they will discharge him later this evening. He was originally needing 2 more doses of antibiotics but instead they will give him 1 dose of a slightly different antibiotic that will cover him for 24 hours. :-) This was very unexpected news for us but very good news! We are thrilled to not have to stay another night and instead be here for only 2 and 1/2 days instead of the full 3!! Woot woot!
Isaac has had a number of visitors which has made the time in the hospital much more bearable. My grandma and grandpa Green, my brother and his girlfriend (Jordan & Melissa), and some old friends of ours from the Quad Cities (Chris, Joy & their son Cody ) visited on Tuesday. Then our good friend Karen stopped by today while she was working here at the hospital. :-) We continue to feel blessed by the support we are receiving. Thank you everyone! !
August 11th Update :
Today Isaac is fever-FREE!! :-) This morning he is as happy as can be which makes a stay in the hospital a lot easier. His blood counts are unfortunately still very low but there is no bacteria thus far so we are thankful for that. Here's to 2 more days. :-)
August 10th Update:
Unfortunately Isaac woke up bright and early this morning (@ 4:30) with a fever. :-( Boooo
So we packed our suitcases and headed to the University of Iowa Hospital. Within an hour they had him all hooked up, taken blood samples, and started antibiotics. Isaac is currently napping on mommy. :-)
We will once again be here for a minimum of 3 days. But in the bright side we are familiar with a lot of the staff as we were just here 8 days ago ;-)
Although he's been pretty fussy today I managed to get a Lil smile as we watched Toy Story (his new favorite movie)
