Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - Departure Date Set

Excitement and anxiety have set in.... Aiden will be coming home on Friday!!!

We are so excited but very nervous. Lisa hardly slept last night. Tomorrow night we will spend the night in the NICU as a trial run. We will be in a secluded room in which we will be responsible for all of Aiden's care throughout the night and next morning. This will be a good test with the comfort of a full NICU team outside of our room.

Since our home in Paris is far from civilization, Friday we are taking Aiden to Camp Carol. Don't worry, we gave Carol a few days notice. :) We are planning to stay at Camp Carol for the first week prior to going home. We are still trying to bribe one of the NICU nurses into moving in with us.

Aiden is at 39 weeks gestation. One week from his original due date of October 7th. He weighs 6lbs - 14oz. He will be going home with oxygen support and a monitor.

Keep Aiden in your prayers!
