"There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow." Orison Marden


Just some pics from today's skin to skin. He was trying so hard to see Jaska while he took the picture.

Today was another stable day. I am very grateful for these. Isaac was up and down on the vent again, but I just called (10:30 pm) and the nurse said that he's been stable for the last few hours--so much so that they are going to try a lower setting on his ventilator.

They started feeding him again today--he's still not pooping, but the x-rays of his belly look pretty good, so they are going for it. He's only getting tiny amounts right now as they try to prime his stomach to handle more.

Tiny progress, but I'll take it. Any progress makes me cheer.
