Our Far Away Trip

Today, Jeffery and Aiden got life flighted to a hospital that specializes in his disease. Katelyn and I drove here with the help of melissa trusty GPS.-- (thank you by the way, prolly would have gotten lost a million times on the way). The hospital told us that life flight would be arriving in Cincinnati at 12 oclock, so kate and i decided to leave early so we could meet them here. Of corse, they didn't arrive here until almost 4 pm. Aiden's Iv cloted up and they had to put one in his leg that went ALL the way down into his bone. That took them forever and delayed them a few hours..lol Once they finally arrived here, the doctors called jeff and i back. they explained to us that they were going to see about putting a more perminant IV into him that they could use to get him everything he needs, and get blood when they needed it. this would also prevent them from pricking him a million times for blood work. They also told us about a "cough machine" they would use to help aiden clear his lungs. It send air into the lungs, then sucks it right back out, causing him to cough.. LET ME TELL YOU, IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!! LOL he is breathing great. He finally fell asleep and actually looked comfterable for once!! Tomorrow we will be seeing Dr. Brenda Wong, she treats all the SMA children that come to this hospital. Hopefully she will give us good news, if not, jeff and i will know, we gave aiden every fighting chance at life. I really think that is all we could ask for. Well I am going to cuddle up with my baby ((havent been able to do that in over a week)) and watch some tv. I will try to keep this site updated so everyone knows whats goin on!! thank youuu everyone for the awesome support && love everyone has shared with us :)

  1. Are they wanting to put a pick line in? michaela gets one everytime she is admitted for a few weeks, it works like wonders, no pokes after that!
