| The NICU Experience | Aaron update 8 |
| Subject: Aaron update 8 Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 7:03 PM From: Kevin Quick To: Aaron Update List OK, we’re back home for a couple of days. We just walked in the door, and updating y’all was the first thing on my mind (after calling to see how Aaron was doing, of course!). Aaron is still on his CPAP machine, which means he has not yet had to go back on the ventilator (the invasive breathing machine). He’s been on CPAP now for almost a day and a half. He tired out after a day and a half last time, so he’s doing at least as well this time. They haven’t tried feeding him via his stomach again yet, but there is evidence that his digestive system may be gearing up for activity...he had a little present in his diaper this morning. Aaron had his second head ultrasound (second ultrasound, not second head) yesterday, and the preliminary result from the ultrasound technician is “thumbs up.” So far, so good! Love, Kevin, Kathleen & Aaron |
