Life is Busy

Sorry for the delay since my last post, but life as all of you know is super busy. Since Isaac has been out of the hospital he has been doing so much better. We went to the doctors this last Friday and had x-rays don again to make sure the pneumonia was gone and it was! He was also weighed and now weighs 13lbs 12oz., he grew over a pound in two weeks so he jumped up on the growth scale which is awesome! We started him on rice cereal by spoon right after he got out of the hospital so I think that really helped. He also has been pushing himself up finally, and has rolled over a couple times, pretty sure it was on accident though :)We also had a lot of celebrations this weekend, my brother Justin turned 22 and his fiance Katie threw him a surprise birthday party. It was so much fun, he really hasn't been hom for his birthday since he was 17 so it was a big bash.It was also Fathers Day and Isaac was dedicated at our church as well on Sunday. Ron and wrote Isaac a letter to tell him how much we love him and why we chose to dedicate his life to the Lord.

Dear Isaac,
You are a precious gift from God, given to us to cherish and love. We have been praying for you since before we even knew you existed. We wanted to dedicate you to the Lord as a promise to God and our family and friends to care for you as if you were God’s child and as a promise to ourselves to model a Christian lifestyle for you. We desire to have God’s will carried out in your life and we know God has placed us as stewards of this special gift. We promise to teach you to live a holy life and value the good gifts God has given you. We promise to give you every opportunity and encourage you to be what God has called you to be. We want to be held accountable and hold you accountable in your spiritual growth. We promise to pray for you, read to you God’s word and instruct you in the ways of the Lord. We will delight in your accomplishments, share in your hurts and encourage you in every way as you grow into adulthood. We love you with all our hearts and can’t wait to watch you grow into an amazing young man. God has blessed us so much and we pray he continues to bestow those blessings onto you. Lord, we offer Isaac’s life to you and want your will and way for his life, and pray you give us wisdom in raising him to his fullest potential
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

We also had everyone over to our house, both mine and Ron's family. It was a great day, we are pretty lucky to have such amazing families :) Ron had a great first Fathers Day too, his son was dedicated and he got to spend time with the people he loves.

Isaac had pneumonia

So, Friday I started noticing that Isaac didn't look like he was feeling very good. He had eye boogers(not technical term :)) all day, he started coughing and he felt warm to me. So, I called the doctor on Friday afternoon and got him in so that I could have him checked out before the weekend. He had a temp of 100.3F and he had chest X-rays done. His doctor said the X-rays were fine and that he probably had a virus. So she gave me a prescription for his eyes and told me to spray saline in his nose and keep it cleaned out and to watch his temp. If his temp went over 100.4 he would have to come back in on Monday. He didn't sleep very well on Friday night and woke up Saturday looking worse to me. I kept taking his temp every 2 hours and it kept going up. I called the after hours nurse and she told me usually at 4 months you wait to go to the doctor till their temp is 105F!! I told her he was only 12 lbs, and she said bring him to the urgent care if I thought it would be best. So, being the overprotective mom that I am, my mom and I took him to the ER at Metro. They checked him out in the ER and his temp had gone up over 102F, and they did chest X-rays again and fluid had started to enter his lungs. They diagnosed him with pneumonia and said he needed to be admitted to the hospital. They put an IV in his arm, which took an hour and a half to find a good vein because he was dehydrated and gave him oxygen. We spent 2 nights at the hospital and came home yesterday. He is doing really good now, he is still on antibiotics for his cough, but everything else seems to be fine. I know a lot of people were praying for him, so thank you for your prayers and keep praying he heals completely
