Sugar Baby

Isaac is still in the nursery, Heidi had a chance to breast and bottle feed him today.
His sugar levels are up which is good, he will remain in the nursery until he can keep his levels up without being on an IV.

Everything in your body runs off sugar, fat stores sugar. Isaac has zero fat on his body, thus it's very hard to maintain proper sugar levels. In order not burn any sugar Isaac is basically in an incubator. His body temperature is good with out the heat, but the incubator helps him not to burn off any sugar.

No telling what day he will come out of the nursery. We were hoping today but it sounds like it might be sometime next week.
