Isaac Is Still Motivated

Motivated to keep on sleeping in his bed. Isaac has been harder to motivate than his sisters or anyone else I have ever met. However, Isaac finally is excited about getting stickers on a chart to go to Chuckie Cheeses. He even pooped in the potty for an additional sticker on his chart. Progress is moving so fast, we will have to go to Chuckie Cheeses next week. I tease Isaac how broke I am going to get letting him grow up.

Isaac's Heart Diagnosis and More

Isaac was born with Hypoplastic Right Ventricle with Dextrocardia, Pulmonary Stenosis, and VSD. He also has a leaky Tricuspid valve with moderate leakage. He had a BT shunt 1-17-03, Bi-Directional Glenn removing BT shunt 7-7-03, and the Fontan 6-22-06.
He was also born with Hydrocephalus (no shunt or brain damage), and Unilateral hearing loss (which he outgrew and only has minor hearing loss now). He also was born missing the top portion of his left ear (the pinea) which he will have plastic surgery for in a couple of years. He also has a condition with his left eye called Exotropia which may require surgery. He only has 70% of an airway which causes frequent croup, due to drainage from post nasal drip. We still find new problems occasionally, however his Heart is the most serious of all of his issues.
