Aiden looks great this morning. The first doctor who did rounds this morning said that he didn't want to take out his vent until tomorrow, but then came back and said that his belly was much less swollen. They decided to do another test to make sure he is ready to be taken off the vent, draw another blood gas, and then they will be able to remove the vent. So, tentatively, the plan is to remove the vent this afternoon or evening, watch him here overnight, then move us tomorrow to another room. I will be so very glad to hold my baby. He is tolerating everything really well. The only thing that really is upsetting is when we try to clean his face. Funny - he is a true boy.
The post-surgical team also dropped by to look at scarring and xrays from the surgery. They feel he is doing really well with his recovery from the surgeries
Social work dropped by and they have arranged for me to have a sleep room during today and tonight - a very quiet dark room with a very comfortable bed. I will be able to stay really close and still get rest. YAY!!!
