Aiden was able to get off of the ventilator on Saturday and is currently back on the high flow nasal cannula. He is on 3 liters of oxygen at 30% which is a little bit higher than he was before the surgery. He will more than likely be re-intubated again for the hernia surgery which has been scheduled for Thursday at 1:30. We've been told that the upcoming surgery is a little easier and the recovery should be quicker. He will just be given children's Tylenol for the pain rather than morphine. Aiden has been more himself the last couple of days which is nice to see.
Aiden is still on TPN and lipids, but we are hoping the feedings will start soon. On the night before the surgery Aiden weighed in at 5lbs. Two nights ago he was at 5lbs 9oz which is alot of weight gain in a short time. He has put on alot of water weight since he wasn't given his daily doses of sodium and diuretic prior to surgery. We should see a slight weight drop and his "double chin" disappear in the next couple days.

Hi Holly,
Was wondering how he's doing with his "poopies"? He looks like he's getting to be quite an armful which is wonderful to see!
