Aiden is back off nasal canula and at room air.. YAY!! He'd doing wonderful with that. As for eating, well he is still not digesting his feeds.. UGH!! When they suction back the milk comes back but is some what digested. You can tell his tummy is making the "juices" to digest it, but it's not moving through his system. I am thinking maybe it's becuase he hasn't pooped in 3 days. Maybe he is a little blocked up.. Although his belly isn't big or distended. Either way he got a supository tonight so we will see if we get any little gifts.
He's also getting to the poing where he would much rather be held then in the crib. I held him today 3 times for 2 or more hours at a time, and he was held by the nurses today to because he was being a fuss bucket. Chuck says he has earned it and I agree. I just don't want him to turn into a, "I need to be held 24 hrs a day" baby.. Cause that is just not possible.
We keep talking about "when Aiden comes home" and it is such a good feeling. Can you believe I am scared a little too. It's going to be a very sureal day for me. I'm still looking forward to it though in so so many ways. And at this point i could really use a long vacation from the NICU.
Lets just pray and hope that Aiden starts doing well with his feeds and can get past this hump..
As always it's another waiting game, but so much is riding on this, just like all the rest of the bumps and humps we have faced.. You can do it little man..
Oh and his weight is back up.. Strange as it is, he pee'd off all that fluid gain, and now isn't puffy and swollen like he was, but in a day he put the weight (in numbers) right back on. He lost 150 grams after his doses of lasix the other night and then as of today gained 155 grams. he is right back to being a smidge away from a 5 pounder.. Imagine that..
