Nearly Forgot – some new thank you's
whew – narrowly avoided a social pho’pah there. Continued thanks go out to Matt and Cindy and Family for the Tim Hortons swipe card and the gas cards. What a great idea from my brothers and sisters to help us continue our commute back and forth from Hamilton hospital (45km each way) To Mr and Mrs Kranz for the kind gift, Stuffed animal and card. To Mr and Mrs Miller for your gift of Robert Munch Children’s books. Grandma and Grampa Burton – we received your card thank you. Thanks to Moxy Media my work and family away from family, for the supper works food gift, basically they purchased meals for us to heat up as with visits cooking isn’t always a priority. Thanks also to Moxy Media for allowing me the time I’ve needed (paid...
10 days and counting…
I must admit that every single day I see that little fella he makes my heart just sing. I’ve never really experienced anything like having a son. It really is one of those once in a lifetime experiences. He’s simply the coolest thing ever! Each time I come into that room and see his little form in the incubator I get so excited! Every day with him in our lives truely is a gift. Other fathers will understand what I’m talking about – and for those guys that have no clue but are planning on eventually being Dads… wow your in for some awesome times ahead. I mean look at all the stress I’m under, his life hangs in the balance, lindsay is sick, we’re moving, we’ve had to juggle finances to allow for the uniquiness of the...
Mom update
Well, I guess that this last few weeks has had quite a toll on me. I have not been sleeping very well and been forgetting about looking after myself as I have been more concerned about Ayden, his health, and setting up all the bills/change of address for the move coming up. Last night after our visit with the Doctor, Mark and I went for dinner at Kings Buffet. It was really really good. I did notice that for the past 2 days, I have had some pain in my lower back on the left side, kind of where your kidneys are. The pain was so bad last night that I could barely sit at dinner. I thought that I must be experiencing a kidney infection and told Mark that I was going to see the doctor. I went to the doctor this morning. They did a urine test which did not show any...
Ayden’s Prayer
Through this entire ordeal I’ve kinda come up with a tiny prayer… I first said it in a dream I had one night… so really it was my dream self that recited it and I’m just repeating it. I hope that it becomes famous and I’m sure it works in other instances for other people too.
Comments
We welcome anyone’s comments to the blog as after this ordeal is through and Ayden is home, we will be burning this web blog to a DVD as a gift to Ayden (kinda like an online baby book/diary). Thanks all for your thoughts!
Mysteries Revealed!!!
…deep breath. Not to worry things are good.. there’s just a lot of info to get out and I wanna make sure that I get it correct. Lets start at the beginning of things. At 1am in the morning on the 13th of Nov Lindsay was yanked out of sleep by sharp pains and her body told her it’s time to give birth. That morning Ayden arrived in our world. What we just learned is that the reason this happened is because the placenta had an infection (chorioamnionitis) within it. So the body said hey… this is bad, it’s makin mom sick and makin’ baby sick. So out came Ayden. Now as a result the infection passed on to little Ayden. So not only did he have to deal with being born premature and having to survive with organs and parts that were not...
