Enroute
Ayden is currently on his first journey in a vehicle (on his own, as in not inside mom) as he’s heading to GRANDRIVER hospital. A bed was available today, so Mom is packing up and on her way home as well. She’s beside herself with joy at the prospect of being able to sleep at home tonight!!! Ayden has to be quarantined for 24 hours to make sure he’s not bringing any infections along with him and then they’ll put him in the nicu. I myself, am excited that I can now visit with ease my family at the hospital. Very exiting… a nurse at MAC has guestimated that he’s got another 3 weeks in the hospital. It’s not a set date.. so much as he’s got to accomplish certain parts of development on his own. But he’s growing...

Some new pictures from Feb 16th
Every 7 days the beds get changed out for clean ones and this week we got the “baby jail”…its stainless steel!!! LOL MMM….soother!!! Look at how cute I am!!!
Green Light For Transfer
Yup you heard right!! Ayden passed his eye test!!! which means they wanna have us come back at some point for another check up throughout his development. But it’s nothing that is super urgent, which means he’s good in that department. Now that said.. he had a test today to check his urinary track infection. They had to put in a catheter to put in a fluid that the doctors could track on the Ultrasound. The test revealed that he was having some reflux so they’re gonna have to keep and eye on that… as a result Ayden will be on a low dose of antibiotic for a full year. But this is nothing that will hold him from being transferred, so… they’re going to meet all together as a team tomorrow. And then that being said…...
What a crazy day!!!
Well today has been such a crazy hectic day…. Ayden has an iv in his left hand in order to give him antibiotics, but you can only leave an iv in for so long…so this morning at 5am, they had to remove the iv from his hand to another vein in his body…the problem is that they tried a vein in his other hand and it didn’t work, they tried one on his left side of his head and it didn’t work and they finally found one on the right side…whew (3 needles so far…) Due to the iv troubles, they can’t feed the babies right away as they are under a lot of stress and will spit the food back up…so Ayden’s 6am feed did not get run until 7:30. By the time I arrived at 9 for his feed, his tummy was still digesting the food...
