Emergency Room...

We had to take Isaiah to the emergency room on Friday night - because his body temperature was low. We are just in the habit of checking his temperature before each bath - because that is what we did everynight at the NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit) in Evansville. If his temperature isn't warm enough we don't want to undress him & get him all wet & cool him off even more. His temp was 93.5 and is supposed to be between 96 - 99. But all the tests came back normal - he just doesn't have any body fat because he is so little & can't keep himself warm. So he has to stay super bundled - not just a little bit bundled. We were so scared. I cried & cried. We didn't get home til almost 3 am Saturday morning when his temperature had reached 97.5 because he was super bundled in those nice warm hospital blankets. He is holding his temperature just fine. But they had to take blood...can you believe they tried to find a vein!? They couldn't find one so they pricked his heal & took blood there. They did 2 chest x-rays. They needed a urine sample & had to put a cathater in. But when I undressed him & took his diaper off he emptied his bladder...so when they went to do the cath they barely got anything - but they did get enough. So sad to watch. I just felt like they were picking on him & being so mean. But just keep praying for Isaiah to gain some weight. Thank you.
