They are going to do a CT scan on Isaac's face to get a better look at the facial fractures. They are guessing the fractures, leakage of spinal fluid and dipping oxygen levels are all connected. They tried to do a CT scan about an hour ago and he wouldn't stay still so they either need to do it when he's super sleepy or is sedated. We're still awaiting the hearing test on Wednesday so they may have to wait until then and kill two birds with one stone.
We aren't too happy with this news and just hope the CT scan shows some small fractures that will correct on their own. Worst case scenario would be that there is a large fracture that would need to be corrected surgically. Best case scenario is it's a small fracture that will close on it's own. I would think that a large fracture would've been visible on his original CT scan so we're staying positive!
Isaac is on a sugar high from his BD cupcakes and is playing hard!

Hello! Just wanted to let you know that I check up on your blog everyday and report to my entire family in NY. We are all thinking of your little man and praying, praying, praying. It is so wonderful to see him enjoying some time with his sister. The pictures and your words are incredibly inspiring. What an amazing mother you are. And I will add those little ones who have no visitors to my prayers as well. My heart breaks for them.
