Aiden is still back and forth with his feeds but has gotten a little better, so the plan of attack is.. If he starts to digest all of the 3cc's he is given, then come monday they will start increasing them.
We also had a step forward and a tiny tiny step back today.. The step back was that Aiden is back on the nasal canula, but only on a sniff of oxygen. He's doing really good, but I think the combo of his starting feeds and getting blood and getting two shots of lasix today just pooped him out and he needed a little help. Not a big deal, it only nasal canula, and considering he was off it completely for 3 days is just awesome. NOW the step forward is... Aiden is now in a big boy crib, well actually a bassinet. He was either getting really warm in the isolette or getting cold, so they took him out and he has been at room temp since 10am. He still needs to be snuggled and wraped in his blankets but he is holding his temp so far, and this is a good thing. He's big enough to be out of the isolette, however he's still delicate when it comes to his temp. Well see if this works but again, so far so good.
He was also give two doses of lasix today, one after he got the blood and the second about 9am.
OH MY did he pee.. His diaper at 4am was 119 cc's and the one at noon was 91 cc's.. Yes people this is a lot, considering his average diaper is between 15 and 30, and what we call a big one is about 45.. I think we now hold the record.
With that said, you can imagine that his puffiness has gone down a bunch, and he dropped some water weight. He weighed in last night at 2235 grams (4 lb 14 1/2 oz) and tonight weighed in at 2075 (4lb 9 1/2 oz) Now that's a lot of pee...

I finally got to take some new pics today too, I was waiting because he just had so much going on with his eye exams and this and that, i didn't want to bother him with the flash, until I realized the camera I have rocks and takes really good pics with out the flash, most of the time.. So enjoy, and I will up date you all tomorrow if there is any more exciting news..
