Busy Days (and nights)

Aiden has definitely been keeping us busy since he's been home.
He REALLY wants to be held all of the time. We try to let him get some crib time every so often but it usually doesn't last very long, he complains after a few minutes. Our theory is that when we put him down he is thinking he is still in the NICU and that we are leaving him for the night.

He came home on 1/4 liter oxygen and he still has the NG (feeding) tube in place just in case he can't finish his bottle. He is getting 60ml every 3 hours.

He is still on 3 oral medications as well as a breathing treatment every 12 hours which is a medication in the form of a mist.

We will be having a nurse come to the house about twice a week to check on him.

The nurse weighed him while she was here, he weighed in at 6 lbs 10 oz.

Next week will be very busy. Every day we will have some sort of appointment.

We gave Aiden a bath today so I took a bunch of pics and a short "afterbath" video.

These pictures are "clickable" so you can view the full size :)
