There is a possibility...

That Aiden will be coming home next week.

I am so excited at the thought of our little family all being under the same roof.

Aiden's doctor told us today that her plan is to wean his oxygen to 1/4 liters per minute by the end of the week (he is on 1 1/2 currently) and to send him home sometime next week. On oxygen of course and a feeding tube. She thinks that this point he would benefit more from being home even if he is not quite 100% ready yet. We will have to learn how to insert the feeding tube through his nose, work with him on feedings and he will be on a heart & respiratory rate monitor - but at this point we will do WHATEVER! We are just hoping that weaning his O2 goes smoothly and this week is uneventful so he really can come home. We are hoping for the best but know that it might be delayed if something happens.

Aiden is 4 months old today and weighed 5 lbs. 15 oz. WITHOUT his casts and sling on. He is getting to be such a big boy! He got his casts taken off, his feet re-positioned and new casts put back on. It was quite an ordeal, but Aiden was so good through the whole thing - he didn't cry once. They had to soak the old casts for over an hour to get them off, so technically Aiden got his first "real" bath today in a little tub of warm water. The orthopedist said his feet look really good and the left one almost looks like it is in a "normal" position after only one week!

Getting his casts off - he did so good!

This is his "bad" foot after just one week in the casts
