Always praying. But I saw an E-surance commercial last night and said an extra special one just for you.

Erin, some people just never know what to say... and then when they say something it sounds so rude. A lot of my relatives are like this. They don't mean to sound rude and heartless, but they just don't know how to voice what they have in their heads. I call those kind of people Ukrainians .

I've been praying for Isaac and that he is fine when he gets checked out tomorrow. I am glad you were able to start work at noon today.

Erin, I'm glad that you are taking some time for yourself; you are doing a great job with everything.

I'm praying for you all and especially for little Isaac's healing.

I feel much better now. I slept until 11.

On a positive note...Isaac is being extubated (removing ventilator) today. My BIL/SIL who have a plane and pilots licenses are flying us down so we can see him without his ventilator (in case he has to go back on it).

You went up in that plane and took those pictures you posted before right? How long is the flight to the hospital? Have fun! I will pray for your guys' safety right now.

Can't wait to see new pictures!

Right, thats the one where we just flew around that one time.
The flight to the hospital will be around 40 minutes.
BIL just likes to fly so any excuse to actually go somewhere is good. Plus it will be fun! It kind of makes me nervous still but he is a good pilot and its a beautiful day.

Talked with Isaac's nurse...off the vent for about an hour and doing great!!

More negative talk coming from family...grandparents (my mom's parents).

Okay, Klay just called and BIL says some storms might be moving in so we may not be flying afterall...trying to decide if we try to go ahead and drive down tonight or not.

Erin God impressed this on my heart to tell you. He has had Isaac's life in His hands since the beginning of time. He has had your life in His hands. He is in control. His plans are so much bigger than we can ever fathom or imagine. We are to trust. I know, oh gosh how I know, how hard it is to just trust and have blind faith in circumstances like this but that is what He calls us to do. Cling to Him, look to Him for whatever your worries are. He will take care of you. He LOVES you. And He LOVES little Isaac.

Thanks Diane.

BTW...got your package this morning...I was pumping on the couch and I think I flashed the delivery guy 'cause he snuck up on us!

I also got your card, Sideways.

And Manda's Gift.

And Amy's gift.

You guys are amazing...I am in awe of the love everyone has shown.

Thanks a million.

Well, the one cousin I just kept giving her positive stats and telling her how he'll be fine.
On the grandparents, I havent talked with them, I actually refuse to, mom just told me and told me to be careful what I post on facebook, since some of the family was taking it wrong and being negative.
I've been rebuking their negativity in prayer, and no negative thinkers are allowed to visit, us OR him.

Erin, you just let us girls know...we'll take over your facebook wall and picture comments so there's no room for negative people! Seriously. Still praying here- that is amazing that he's off the vent already!

Klay says facebook owes me commission....I know of at least 10 people who joined facebook just for Isaac updates...not to mention all the friend requests I've been getting. Isaac is a popular little man. My FIL is shocked at the comments coming from people all over the world.

Hopefully you guys get to fly tonight. If not then maybe tomorrow?

to negative people. My grandma is the worst negative person I have ever met. I can't tell her anything. Our emails are quite boring actually. I just don't trust her though so she never gets any updates on our lives. You know more about Lorne and I than my grandma will ever know!

Isaac sure is popular! And so are you missy! I sent a package for you this afternoon. It will get there within 11 business days so within 2 fridays from now it should be there.

I would kindly ask your mom to not pass on info like that, it doesn't help you or Isaac at all.

Erin, you are doing amazing. Amazing. My hat is off to you. This wasn't what you expected or planned but you are hanging in there with it all and are doing great for what has been unexpectedly thrown at you.

Are you journaling this at all? online or off somewhere private? You really should think about it if you aren't. What great memories to look back on some day when Isaac is all big and running around being a boy, you can look at how tiny he was and how precious and you can remember and rejoice in his achievements while in NICU and beyond.

Mom was actually being nice, she was just asking me to edit my facebook and to be careful with how I worded stuff.


We wont be going down tonight...the nurse called and he is back on the vent. It was just a little too much. Plus its storming down there. We'll go down tomorrow.

bleh to censoring yourself. not fun.

I'm sorry he's back on the vent but he had it out a little while right? that's progress.

And I'm also sorry you won't be seeing him tonight, hoping tomorrow is a better day for all of you.

I hope you guys get to go see him tomorrow. I am glad you didn't fly down if it is storming now. That wouldn't have been much fun! Well, he was off the vent for a bit. That is pretty good! That has gotta be a bit annoying trying to word things right for so many people. I didn't see anything wrong with anything you have written so far. I don't see how that is even possible for you to do! How do you word baby updates wrongly? Maybe the truth is just too much for people to read?

Well apparently my grandpa called and griped mom our for not telling him everything. Apparently my aunts (not sure who) read what I wrote, colored it up a little bit, and repeated it. My grandma is spreading the word that he wont be "normal" and such as that. So facebook updates may get slim.
