Aidan is getting stronger!
Aidan is very cute today. I got to hold him for the first time in 40 days and 40 nights. I teased Laura about being able to fast from holding him longer then she could! He is gradually getting stronger but still has a very soft cry and continues to grunt to regulate his breathing. Respiratory will start giving him bronchial drainage (BD) treatments again. He used to get them while he was on his ventilator and we used to tease the respiratory therapists that they enjoyed beating our son. BD treatments involve the respiratory therapists lightly pounding on his back to help him work out any secretions in his lungs but really does sound like they are beating him. Aidan will continue to gain strength in his lungs and will probably be more normal over the next few days.
Aidan will start getting speech therapy soon to help him learn how to swallow. The speech therapists will start by working with his pacifier. He has already taken his pacifier for us but can not hold it in for very long.
