Doctors came and did rounds this morning about 10am. The tentative plans for discharge are as follows: They will not discharge until he has been on antibiotics for 7 days (which will be Monday). With him being on TPN (nutrition supplement by his PICC line), he needs to be on it 5 days total and then off for 24 hours before they will discharge (which is Monday). They are extremely optimistic about his progress. His belly is less swollen, his kidneys are doing well, and his "boy parts" are getting less and less swollen every day.
I have been able to make great friends while I am here. The baby who has been rooming with Aiden will have brain surgery today and was born with hydrocephalus... this cute young family has 2 year old twin boys and this 1 month only baby girl. They live in Mesquite and have been here three weeks already and will be here at least another month. The baby's name is Zoi and the Mom is Chelsea. Please remember them in your prayers - They have never had the opportunity to really be together as a family... this baby is so sick and the family is so sweet. Thanks.
