Aiden continues to shed fluid. Still hovering around 4 lbs. Hs head and neck look more proportionate to the rest of his body now. Finally lost most of his 2nd chin and fluid cap.
Aiden's down to just one chest tube since last night. Xray this morning showed possible fluid building back up on his left side. They'll take another xray tomorrow morning to check but wouldn't be surprised if they had to put another one in.
Jaundice isn't bad. All fluids coming out of his body are yellowish, even spit, tears, and eye boogers.
His skin is drying out a little but looks good.
Seems aggitated still but had an uneventful day. Much better than yesterday. Probably his best day yet.
Lets dad touch him without much stirring. Dad rubs his head and holds his hand. Good grip for a little guy. Has a habit of showing his fingers, middle and pointers seem to stand out among the others. Not ready to takea pic of this yet. Hoping he outgrows this. I'm sure he gets this from his Great Grandma Jones.
Dad changed a diaper and checked his temp. Everything works as it should.
Brain scans should take place on Wednesday, his birthday. (One week old!)Keep the prayers comin'! Tempted to have a birthday party in NICU hallway! Shhh - don't tell them. They'll want cake and ice cream, too!
Will try to post a few pics from tonight and video from 3 hrs, yesterday, and today in a seperate post.
Keep the prayers coming and thank you for the generous love and interest in Aiden's recovery.
