He no longer has the nose tube in and the are working very hard to make sure he eats/drinks as much as he is supposed to. This is what is preventing him from being released at this point. But they truly do have hope that he will be released within days from now.
Here's a message from my mom about all of this:
Auntie Mindy, Baby Aiden graduated today into a BIG BOY ROOM. He is just down the hall and around the corner, but it is the next step towards home. Mommy and daddy are staying there with him tonight. I have the twins. He is being observed around the clock and is doing quite well so far.
Mommy told him to get better so he can come home and meet all his cousins, Auntie Mindy and Uncle Joe. We are praying he'll be here when you arrive. Drive safely and we are all waiting for hugs and kisses in a couple days.
We are so happy to hear the progress and continue to pray for him - in both good times and bad. We also pray for all of his newfound NICU friends who are continuing to strugle, wait, and hope for the health improvement of their own babies; all of whom have their own heartbreaking stories too.
Hopefully, the next time I update it will be to say Aiden is coming home!
Thanks for all of your prayers, interest and cheerleading.
(P.S. My family is in NYC for the weekend and will be meeting Aiden (FINALLY!) this Sunday night, whether that's at the hospital or home!
