I was hoping that yesterday we would be bringing Isaac home from this surgery, but his recovery from surgery has been a bit rough on him this time.  His JP drain was taken out Saturday morning and he did move from the PICU to the general floor early Saturday evening.  When he got to the general floor he was running a fever, so they took cultures to be tested to see if he might be getting an infection.  His incision was bleeding more then the Doctors liked, so they were going to keep an eye on it overnight.  Isaac had a bit of a rough Saturday night, waking up moaning and crying whenever he was touched.  He is not keeping all his feeds down.  All his IV’s have been taken out, because he moves around too much.  The Doctor put more stitches in Isaac’s incision on Sunday to help with the bleeding.  Isaac was running a fever once again last night.  Nothing from the cultures, so a chest X-ray was taken not too long ago.  The Doctor told Zane that Isaac needs to be fever free for 24 hours before they even think about sending him home.  He was running a fever earlier today, but it is going down and he has been up and playing.

I did take the kids to the hospital on Saturday so they could see him.

Zane has been spending his time at the hospital with Isaac.  It breaks my heart to hear of his struggles and not be there with him, but the hospital is not exactly the place I need to be hanging out at.  Zane has been great to send me pictures of him, so here are a few of them.
