September 20, 2008: Day 20 (Aunt Linda visits!!)

It's 10:00pm and we are sitting here in the NICU along with Aidan's Aunt Linda. Aunt Linda told Aidan that his Aunt Kathy really wanted to come too, but she just couldn't come.

Aunt Linda flew from Chicago to visit and arrived just before 2pm:





We've had very nice visits with Aidan. Denyse held him for 90 minutes this afternoon, and tonight, the 3 of us had a lot of fun during the nightly CPAP changing. Aidan just had his nightly weighing and is now 1094 grams (2 lbs 6.6 oz) He gained 19 more grams.

"Tom the air guy was on duty tonight":





Tom prepares Aidan for his weighing:



Aidan waits on the scale while they re-make his bed:



Tom clears Aidan's airways. He was pretty stuffed up before Tom came to the rescue:



Then nurse Jennifer says to Linda, "Here hold him":



It was a very long day for Aunt Linda. Hey after all, "It's after midnight in Chicago":
