We gave Isaac a bath last night. I thought he would scream but he just hung out. He didn't cry until we got him out.
Isaac had a dr appt this morning. Dr. Monroe said everything is good and there is no need to worry about the infection any more. I was reading through the discharge papers and the diagnosis was sepsis. That's scary stuff, I am glad they didn't put a name to it while we were there. His weight is 9 lbs 2 oz. we will go back for his 2 month well child exam.

We get to go home today! The IV sites kept going bad so the pediatrician said if blood count is good and crp's are at 1.5 or lower then we get to go.
Jeremy and the kids will come pick us up after sacrament meeting.
It feels good to be home!

Bili levels down to 11. Don't need the lighted bed anymore.
Ampicillin and gentamicin are the antibiotics. He gets a treatment every 8 hours.
Had to move the IV again. It has gone from the left hand, to head, to left hand, to right hand, and left hand again.
Jeremy took the kids to see Planes and lost his wallet.

Bili levels down to 14. Don't need to use the blanket anymore just the lighted bed when Isaac is napping.
Happy 10th anniversary to us! We celebrated by going to dinner at a Mexican restaurant on church street.

Bili levels at 16.2.
Moved the IV to his head. Looks worse but doesn't get in the way as much as having it on the wrist.
Last IV of antibiotics will be Monday morning.
Will continue with bili lights through today and probably tomorrow too.
Jeremy, Don, Shirley, and the kids came for the afternoon. Alex was enthralled with baby Pacman, as I expected. He held him several times and checked him all out. All of him was cute according to Alex. Amelia took a little while to warm up to him. She was very concerned about the IV on his head and his belly button. She didn't want to hold him but wanted to sit on my lap while I held him.

A tough day for me emotionally. Amelia came into the bathroom in the morning excited to see me and says, "Mama, did you come to pick me up?". It's hard not to be together.
The doctors did their rounds at the NICU. Isaac will be moved to the newborn nursery and they have a room that we can stay in. So far all viral cultures have came back negative. His blood counts are still showing signs that he's fighting an infection. Took him off the IV for fluids. I got to hold him a lot this morning and Jeremy fed him a bottle. I have been able to nurse him followed by supplemental formula.
Moved to the newborn nursery around 3.
Jeremy went to Peru for the night to see the kids.
Isaac got hooked up to the bili lights. Bili levels at 16.4
