Good News

Today Isaac had a thorough examination by our ENT at Children's Hospital, Dr. Kozak. He declared that Isaac looked and sounded so good that he didn't even need to do a scope! Hooray! He said that even if he did find scar tissue, it's obviously not impairing his airway very much so he wouldn't need to do surgery. He figured it wasn't worth putting Isaac through the trauma of the scope, which I agreed with! Dr. Kozak has given us the "all clear", and we don't need to return unless Isaac gets sick again. We have instructions to watch him carefully, and to get him straight to his pediatrician if he even gets just a regular cold. If he shows the slightest signs of difficulty in breathing, then it's straight to Emergency.

Now we face the continued battle of keeping Isaac healthy. It's hard to not be overly protective of him, and yet we know we have the right to be a little paraniod :). We have kept Isaac fairly isolated during this past month, but we did reintroduce him to the church nursery last Sunday. He also returned to daycare this past week, and I am returning to my classroom next week (both of which expose him to a lot more germs). So, we will continue to be vigilant with hand washing and sanitizing, and we will continue to pray for Isaac's protection.

And now, a final word:

...for praying for our son! Thank you for all of your support - for your phone calls, visits, meals, Starbucks cards :), gifts and words of encouragement. We have been very blessed!
