It has now been almost a week since Isaac returned home from Children's Mercy. He is still doing fantastic. He is rolling all over the place, although he frequently gets stuck on his belly and squeals for help :) . He is smiling, giggling, and all out laughing most of the time. He has been sleeping and eating well. A couple of nights he got about 13 hours in. He even has two teeth that came through during this whole ordeal. We've gotten out a few times and had several visitors. Since Kevin and I took the week off we have also gotten some much needed rest. We really needed this time with just the three of us since we feel like we lost most of our holiday to Isaac's illness, and we needed some major recovery time after a week and a half of sleeping about 4 hours a night. Basically we wanted everyone to know that we are still doing great. We are soaking up every moment knowing just how quickly it could all be gone. In a lot of ways we are still mentally recovering and trying to reel ourselves back in to participate in the rest of the world.
A couple of steps left on this journey are two doctors appointments. Isaac will see his pediatrician on Tuesday, 1/15, and the pulmonologist on Tue 1/22. Hopefully the doctors will reaffirm that Isaac's recovery is as complete as it appears to be from his behavior. Then we will have to decide when he will return to childcare.... and I will return to work. We are hoping the doctors will help us answer that question as well. I love being at home with him but after missing three months at the beginning of the school year with my maternity leave, being gone again is pretty hard.
