Poor sweet Isaac.  He’s back in the PICU.  He had been working harder to breathe the past couple days.  We had been giving him albuterol treatments and up until Saturday night it seemed like it was really helping.  We decided to take him to the Urgent Care at the Children’s Hospital South Campus Sunday morning.  They could have probably admitted him at that campus and treated him there, but because of his history they would rather him be in the PICU at the main campus.  So, he was transported by the Flight for Life team, ground transport, to the Main Campus.  We are getting far too familiar with the Flight for Life team.

He has been put on BiPap, is on antibiotics, and tested positive for rhinovirus (common cold).  Sunday night was a very rough night in the PICU.  It seemed like he complained the whole night.  He definitely was missing his bottles, which is what gives him comfort.  He does not take a pacifier, so no help there.  They put in a feeding tube today.  I am hoping he will be able to have breaks from the BiPap mask and be able to take bottles during those breaks.

Of course he would get sick now as he was scheduled for his first Cranial Vault surgery this Thursday.  His surgery has been cancelled and hopefully will be rescheduled within the next month.

This was when we arrived at his room in the PICU
