| The NICU Experience | Aaron update 56 |
| Subject: Aaron update 56 Date: Thursday, January 30, 2003 10:00 AM From: Kevin Quick To: Aaron Update List Nurse Jo, who is Marko’s primary nurse, is taking care of Aaron today. (By the way, Marko has been having some problems, so it may be another week or two before he goes home.) We’re still cruising right along. Aaron gained another 50 grams yesterday, so he’s now at 1535 grams, or 3.38 pounds. Doctor Good (not “Goode,” as I had misspelled his name previously) examined Aaron’s eyes yesterday, and said they look good, although they still are immature. Yes!! Aaron is being bottle fed now once per shift. For today’s day shift bottle feeding, Jo will be waiting until a feeding time (every 3 hours) arrives when Aaron is wide awake, which will work best for bottle feeding. ** BABY SHOWER ANNOUNCEMENT!! ** There will be a baby shower for Kathleen at Grace Evangelical Free Church in Kelseyville, CA at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, February 17, 2003. The baby shower is being organized by several women from the church. Everyone is welcome! Please R.S.V.P. to Sammy H., phone #707-279-XXXX. Kathleen will be there, of course, and she’s really looking forward to seeing many of you! Kathleen and I plan on heading back to San Francisco tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. OK, we can’t go all week without a picture... Here’s another one from last weekend. Love, Kevin & Kathleen |
