Peek-a-boo, wagon rides and healing

Isaac has made many great strides in the past 5 days.  Each day his little personality comes back more and more.  He has been such a flirt with his nurses giving them little half, pierced lipped grins, with little twinkling eyes that have ornery written all over them.  A week ago he looked at everyone that walked into his room with two darting eyes and cried when anyone even came close to touching him.  This week, he points to the TV so his guests can see what he's watching.

He has been playing with his toys in bed and his new favorite game he initiates is peek-a-boo!  

Saturday we took a wagon ride around the main hall of the hospital.  He looked around at everything and really enjoyed it.  Who wouldn't enjoy cozy ride like that?

On Thursday he was allowed to begin eating.  He needs lots of nourishment to heal from surgery.  He has slowly been eating more.  He has recently become a more picky eater so our biggest challenge and goal the past few days has been making sure he is getting enough calories.   

(He does seem to enjoy the unlimited supply of chocolate pudding. )

He has been healing well and his incision is looking better every day.  His pain is almost non-existent.  He is no longer on continuous pain meds and today he went off IV fluids.  We are so happy that each day we see improvements in him.    

I have great confidence that God is hearing all of your amazing prayers and we certainly feel the love surrounding our little tough guy.
