Kaiden Michael: Go Kaiden, Go Kaiden!!...3/17/09

Hello everyone!!

Kaiden has been doing so wonderful! As of yesterday evening(Monday), Kaiden has been feeding from a bottle and doing great! He's eating the amount that they would like and he's having no problem keeping it down. They even decided he was doing well enough to take the feeding tube out this afternoon. So no more yellow tube in his nose!! They also dropped his oxygen from 1 to 1/2 and were talking about just taking it off for a little while to see how he would do, but his numbers were just a little bit low so they put it back on...which is fine, if he needs it then he needs it theres no rush :) Kaiden is now taking all of his meds by mouth, those include a small dose of a med to help his heart a little bit, a med to help him go pee, and a med to help settle his stomach since he's actually bottle feeding now. Other then that, little man is all on his own! there has not been any talk of him going home yet, but Anthony and I are not too concerned with that. We just want to make sure he is fully ready when the time comes. He goes tomorrow morning to have an MRI done of his brain. I had one done when i was still pregnant with him because at one ultra sound the dr had noticed some fluid on the brain. The MRI then showed a few spots of damage. But of course the dr's couldnt tell us what extend the damage was, but so far they dont seem to see any concern they would just like to follow up and make sure no further damage was done since that time. I will most likely update from the hospital once we hear anything from that. Ive also posted several new pics of Kaiden, theyre actually taken from Anthony's phone. My camera got dropped and its now broken...BLAH! But Ant's phone has done a great job taking very cute pics...ENJOY! :)
