holding pattern
the chest tube drainage has tapered off nicely, so i think we're moving in the right direction. it was a pretty quiet weekend- lots of laying around, and walking around the ICU in a souped up stroller. isaiah is still pretty shaky on his feet- mostly because of the iv in his groin- which will probably stay in as long as we stay here. starting to talk about getting the chest tube out, followed by the trach tube. from there, the path leads home- but we're used to not following the most direct path- so who knows.
joey rejoins us this evening after a long absence- we're all ready to be back together again- and we're hoping we can manage with all four of us here until we can all go back to holland. a few friends have signed on to help us with that here in chicago. for now, we're in a holding pattern.as we have done in the past, and probably never do enough of, we want to continue to extend our thanks to you for staying on the path with us.

That's sounding good. Joey seemed to enjoy playing at the family center there when we did that one afternoon, and they pretty much have 1 on 1 volunteers to hang out with the kids, so remember to check that option.
Staying tuned...
