26 Weeks Today!!
So today marks the 26th week in Aydens development. Last night I went down with Lindsay Oma, and Aunt Tory. It was a great visit! As a result Lindsay and I slept through the whole night… ya I know she forgot to get up and pump – but she must have needed it.
So I’m sure you’d all like some good news. Well lets see.. the scans of Aydens Heart came back to show no problems – it’s a strong little heart. His lungs are just trucking away breathing. This tube you see in the image. (My favorite to date) is just some humidity and some oxygen.. otherwise he’s doing all the work.
Dr Zikar was there last night – the Dr that gave us the bad news with Aydens brain bleed. And We chatted and it was good. Last time we talked everything seemed so negative and final. But talking to him last night he told us of all sorts of treatments they have for that process. So now we’re very hopeful.
Thursday we have a meeting at 4 with Dr Kusch. A very German Doctor, lol who will basically tell us how we’ve been doing and where we can go from here.
So that’s all great news… Enjoy the new images.. yes I know I’m having issues with the sizes I’m working on that but I kinda have to leave for work so bear with me..
Yesterday I had an awesome visit with my big brother.. he came all the way down to Guelph and we went for lunch. That was really nice.
Thanks again for all the prayers everbody.. we’re not out of the woods yet… so please keep them coming.
cheers till next time… he he he he I love his little hands!…
Hey Mark:
Great to hear that things are looking up!! Please let my cousin know that we are all thinking about her!!
Hi Mark and Lindsay,
Congratulations on the birth of your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you. As you know Olivia (my daughter) was born at 27wks and, it had taken us 6 years to conceive her. I thought it was some cruel joke, how could “God” allow me to become pregnant and then take it away, it seems soUNFAIR, I remeber all of those feelings. However, he is here and it sound like he is a FIGHTER!!! He needs to know that Mommy and Daddy are fighting too. You have embarked on the BIGGEST roller coaster ride ever, remember you need everyone around you (and Ayden does too) Do your best to focus on the good news although it may feel like there is far more of the difficult news. Also, Remember that the Nurses/Doctors are amazing, however they are not Mommy and Daddy, and thats who he needs most! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help or if you just need someone to listen, who has lived the NICU life.
