Thursday

Aiden is doing okay today. Yesterday, his machine was messing up saying that he was not breathing at all!! && to make that worse, he had just woke up from his nap and had very shallow breathing.. He also was producting alot more secretions..so I was a mess!! I felt like I would have a nervous breakdown!! lol but he ended up being okay. The doctor said he would produce alot more secretions right now and that is normal. They have been windowing him with his bipap machine, yesterday he was off it for one hour, today he is going to be off it for 2 one hour periods. The first one went great, so we just have to keep faith that Aiden can breath on his own. He is strong enough, we just have to give him the time he needs. Yesterday, Laura, took kate and I to Walmart. We got Aiden a little Lion costume for Halloween. Even though we are in the hospital, I still want him to have fun too :) Not much has changed, his chest X-rays are still looking the same, they are pretty good. They changed his food to half alimentum, and the other half the tolerex. The dietitians going to show me how to mix both formuals together today. Other than that, Aiden is doing good. He is even giving us smiles :) We have not lost hope, and know that we will come home:)
