not cardiology....
so after a careful review of the scans from yesterday, the cardiology team doesn't think that isaiah's recent struggles are a result of faulty plumbing, or poor blood flow following the surgery. so that doesn't really leave a whole lot to do in terms of diagnostic testing and interpretation, which leaves us in ICU limbo.
i suppose we were hoping that something would have turned up as a result of looking at his brain and heart stuff yesterday- even if it meant uncovering some problems there- if only to have some answers about what has been going on, and about what we needed to do going forward. so now we're just here, trying to keep him comfortable, and looking to start backing off on the drugs and the support he gets from the ventilator so he can start doing more on his own.

I'm so sorry you've gotten no answers yet. I hope the next few days will be good days with Isaiah doing well while trying to do more on his own. You guys take good care. We're all rallying behind yall.
Love

We drove by your house today to make sure the sidewalk and porch had been shoveled. We have gotten a ton of snow here, but everything looked good. We continue to pray for Isaiah's healing; wisdom for his doctors; and rest, peace and answers for you guys.

Dear Joe & Jen,
just now able to check the boards today - hopefully this can be a case of 'no news is good news' and it's just a waiting game until the clot dissolves completely. Will keep watching and praying on this end. Hope you can try to get some rest yourselves.
Love, Cecilia
Dear Ones - We know you must feel like limbo is a dreadful place to be. At this point we can hope and pray that God will give Isaiah the strength to pull himself out of that place. Perhaps backing off the drugs will help him feel more like himself and he will begin to feel less apprehensive. We know he sees a loving face everytime he surfaces and that means EVERYTHING! Keep on keeping on - WE LOVE YOU! ggv
