Let's Try It One More Time

Today is Aaron's 2 month birthday!

Aaron had been on BiPap since Sunday afternoon. They've been weaning him off and he's been doing really well. They moved him to CPap on Tuesday (no set breaths/minute, just continuous pressurized oxygen for when he decides to take a breath) and back to cannula yesterday! Last time he was only on it for 24 hours so we're praying for a little longer this time. He was doing really well last night. We just love how comfortable he looks with these smaller tubes on. They've also started feeding again, very slowly. He is tolerating it well.

On Tuesday, he had another eye exam. Everything looks great so far! Aaron even went from stage 2 to stage 0. After speaking to a few doctors someone was finally able to explain that to us (apparently opthamology is a confusing thing). So pretty much there was a fibrous scar wall that could have potentially stopped Aaron's blood vessels from growing properly to his eyes (if it got really bad they would remove the scar surgically). But now that fibrous wall is resolving and getting better. Thank you Jesus for continuing to heal our little boy!!

Yesterday I had really special visit with Aaron. For the first time I could be with him and not look at the clock or worry about setting up for a patient. I was there for hours. And, since he's been doing very well on the cannula, I held him the whole time. Of course, he was sound asleep in my arms, which was not a problem at all. I think I managed to kiss every inch of his face and head. Here he is sleeping comfortably in mommy's arms!
Doesn't he look so much bigger?
