October 25, 2008: Day 55 (Only 10-14 more days in the NICU left!)

Dr Kaempf called this morning and was very excited about Aidan's nippling. He said all that is left is to wean him off the high-flow cannula, and get him on a low-flow cannula. He said a week from now we will be really close to going home, and he expects Aidan to be ready sometime in the next 1-2 weeks!!! He also said Aidan will be going home on oxygen. We arrived at the NICU today to seed they lowered his high-flow cannula flow to 2 liters/minute.

Aidan is now only 25 grams away from 5 pounds. He gained 50 grams to 2248 (4 lbs 15.3 oz). If we get Nurse Lee tomorrow, he will have seen Aidan for 3 pounds 4 weeks ago, 4 pounds 2 weeks ago, and now the 5 pound milestone.

Aidan was very hungry before his 11pm feeding:





then after his feeding, he was sleeping like a baby...
