We're home and all recovering / Curling toes

March 9, 2005

Hi all,

Thank you so much for asking about Aidan. As you know he had to get a shunt for

his hydrocephalus about a month ago. Well 2 wks later he got an infection and

we were back in the hospital for almost 3 weeks so the antibiotics could work

they're magic. About 6 days we got home he got a stomach virus and threw up and

had diarriah. Of course my worst fears was another infection and we'd have to

go back to the hospital. Thank God that wasn't the case. We all shared his

pain though because the entire family got the virus. UGH..

He's doing great and we hope to maintain that course, no more infections I

pray... Even after all he's been through he still continues to have just the

most infectious spirit. Always full of smiles and talking and laughing - he has

alot to say for a 7mo old. He had all the doctors and nurses wrapped around his

finger. We had nurses stopping by to see him and play with him that hadn't even

cared for him - I guess news spreads. It's not often you get a child in the

PICU who's laughing! :-)

I've not had a chance to read everyones emails but alot has been going on I see.

Kori, I'm so sorry to hear about Merek but thank God he's doing well.

At therapy today, his therapist noticed his toes curl down a little because they

hang off the end of his shoes and its natural to turn the toes down to fit

around the shoes. He's getting new ones soon, end of our 3 months - YAHOO. In

the mean time she said to mesage the toes up while feeding him and his hour out.

I just wanted to throw that in as I've read before about curling toe issues. So

start rubbing those toesies upwards.

& Aidan
