Happy 4 weeks Aiden!!

I can't believe it's been 4 weeks already. The time has gone by so fast, but so much has gone on with him. The ups and downs, the worry, the waiting. It's no wonder the last 28 days all blend together. I remember the day I had him like it just happened an hour ago, but I remember the birth of Chase like that just happened too.

I came to visit today at 4 until about 7 then me and chuck came at 10:30. Today Aiden seemed active so they gave him some fent to relax him. They don't want him moving much while he is on the jet vent so they keep them medicated to a point, but he still had energy today. He also got his stitch removed from the PDA surgery. They also came to look at his drains again, it's like a daily thing now, and since one decided to drain a lot today so they are staying in and he will continue on the antibiotics. His bely today is still "bigger" but looksgood in color compaired to when he first got NEC.
As for tonights visit.. Since we got here his O2 levels have been fantastic. His BP has also been stable. His nurse tonight was amazed and said it was like the second we walked in that he knew and just decided to show off. Funny it's a full moon tonight. Youknow what they say about full moons. i can't believe he is on point and the % on his vent is at 29 (21% is room air) and he is still beeping high on the monitor.. Go AIDEN!!! Keep it up Mr Man.
