Daddy Talk...

Here's what Aiden's daddy had to say today. I missed a few things in my update and he shares some poignant thoughts, so I'm sharing them here too:

Just arrived home from Boston. Aiden is still making slow strides. They've taken IV tube from his soon to be belly button and put it back in his tiny hand. Still very hard for us to see him with all that wiring, and little clotted pinholes on his foot that look like tiny red icicles.

But we had a great day feeding him and telling him stories about his
cat and his brothers and sister and other friends and family. It is so hard to walk out of that hospital and leave him behind everyday. I wish this on no-one.

We've met three other great families in Aiden's bay (in the NICU) all with their own stories of heartache and triumph. They've all become our good friends and we'll never forget them or their children.

Okay, I have to go find some Kleenex now.
(Hang in there Jim. Keep the faith and stay strong. Much love from our gang to yours and see you in less than a week!)
