Thursday, June 26, 2008 - A visit from Lexi

Justin, my brother, brought our dog Lexi today for a visit. It was the first time we've seen her in over a month. She's like a child to us, so it was nice to see her. Justin and Chara must be treating her well, though. She wanted to get back in the truck when it came time to leave.

Aiden had a rough day today. The infection seems to be staying strong. They have increased his antibiotics. Dr. Desai still doesn't seem too concerned about it. She calls it pesky and seems to think it is more of an annoyance than an issue. They installed an IV line in his arm in order to remove the UVC line which should help with the infection.

Aiden had a little trouble with irregularity in his heart beat a few times today. They have started him on albuterol to assist with his breathing which in turn will address the heart rate issue. So far so good. He looked stable tonight, and his stats were good.

On a positive note, his chest x-ray was good. We know it is a long road with lots of ups and downs, but Lisa and I only like to have positive steps forward and no steps back. I guess we just have to be patient and enjoy the fact that he is growing stronger every day.
