The weekend has been rough on us. Lisa and I have tendencies to search for reasons why and how this could have happened. We were told all along that Caleb's chances for survival were slim and his chances for normalcy were even smaller. It just doesn't make it any easier. We became so attached to Caleb and Aiden in just a few days. It is hard to walk into the NICU and see only one bed present.
Saturday was a rough day for Aiden also. He was not doing well (maybe he was grieving the loss of his twin brother). Dr. Desai and Nurse Tracy worked with him all day long. His oxygen levels had to be adjusted up to 100%, and he had problems with his blood pressure and ventilator orientation. Aiden also tested positive for infection. In the late afternoon, they finally got him stable. Tracy was able to get his oxygen down to 30% and was able to get him comfortable. Throughout Saturday night and Sunday, Aiden has been doing really good. They will do some more testing for infections tonight. They have already switched his antibiotic medicine, and he seems to be doing well with it. Aiden is now 1 week old.
Lisa is doing as well as can be expected, given the situation. She is still sore, but becoming more and more mobile every day.
We have many more tough days ahead. Please pray for Aiden, Lisa, and I.
