On the Mend and On the Move...

More Good News about Aiden today! Yay!

But first, what to do with the latest pics we've received? Why, make a video of course, singing compliments of my oldest daughter (and me). Enjoy!



Wednesday night, Aiden's nurse decided it was time to change his IV but she had difficulty getting a new one in. The doctor suggested they leave it out for the time being. Aiden's blood sugar went down but with a feeding it went back up some. It's stablized! On the lower side, but he is good and no more IV! Rejoice!!!!

My sister and brother-in-law met with the doctor again today. Aiden is being promoted! He will be transferring out of Children's to Newton-Wellsley sometime on Thursday. N-W is a Level 2 NICU as opposed to Children's which is Level 3. The new hospital is about 15 minutes closer to home. He is expected to stay there for a week, hopefully less, to monitor his eating. Since he's so little, it's critical they have a good handle on this.

Wednesday evening was also filled with fun first time memories. My sister gave Aiden his first bath. Aiden gave his daddy his first "shower" during a diaper change! I love hearing how much they are enjoying these moments! My brother-in-law is going to spend a much needed day of fun with his teenage twins at Canobie Lake (amusement park). Hope you guys have great weather and a super awesome time!

My sister packed up all of Aiden's things from Children's and said, "I'm not bringing a bunch of stuff to N-W! He's not moving in there!"

The bittersweet thing about Aiden's progress and transfer is leaving the other families in the NICU. They all got so close over the last several days. Here's what my brother-in-law had to say about it:
The only sad part of tonight was having to say good bye to our new friends and their babies. Please also pray for little guys, Elliotte, Jorgan and Gracen. the need all the prayers and love that they can get.

Now, armed with all this good news, in less than 12 hours my family and I will pile into our minivan and begin the 25 hour trek to Massachusetts (with a pitstop in NYC). We should be there by Sunday and hopefully just in time for Aiden's own homecoming!
