The Murray family came to our house on Saturday and Sunday to help us with some unfinished projects. That "honey do" list is close to completion now but I'm sure Lisa will find a way to add to it. Aiden's room is almost ready for him. Our friend, Tina, is giving us the furniture from her son's room since he's graduating to a toddler bed. The busy weekend is my excuse for missing the Sunday posting-I actually fell asleep writing it. Fortunately, we continue to have great news to share about Aiden's progress...
Aiden was 7 weeks old on Sunday. He weighs 2 lbs - 14 oz.
Aiden is still off the ventilator and doing great. The nurses have already been able to wean down his oxygen support and his flow rate. He only has a few de-saturations throughout the day now.
On Saturday, Lisa and I visited Aiden during his care time. We changed his diaper and clothes. I heard him cry for the first time. With the ventilator in, we could not hear Aiden cry. It's a very small, soft cry. It is nice to hear. I'm sure crying will not be so enjoyable in a few months.
Lisa has been doing kangaroo care with Aiden even after he came off the ventilator. It is a lot easier now to get him in and out of the bed. He has been doing very well during kangaroo care.
Keep praying for Aiden!

He is so pretty -- we sure can tell even the few ounces he is putting on shows. He is definately making progress. I will be so happy for you guys when you can take him home. That will be a joyful day I'm sure. But then with what you guys have been through, each day is joyful with whatever progress is made. God is good. You are all in my prayers daily.
Good Morning!!!
What a handsome little guy.... Last night Cain and I were looking at something and he said.. "we should get this for baby Aiden" I am amazed everyday with his memory. Soon you will have these memories as well. Cherish each day and we will continue to pray for yours and Aiden's strength and health.
In Christian Love
