Aidan got his Mic-Key feeding tube removed yesterday!!.   This is a big milestone because he's had it in for almost 6 years.   

So please pray that if it's God's will, he will heal up on his own.   Also pray for his comfort -- he has been through a lot already and I really don't like to see him in pain.


Well, you KNOW he has prayers coming from the Bryans.........but, I cannot believe we talked on the phone all that time and you neglected to mention something SO BIGGGGGGG!!!!       

Keep us updated!!

Love and prayers and !!!

Chari, we talked on Monday.... I think....
I knew we had a GI clinic scheduled for Tuesday and that I was going to bring up the redundant G tube, but I thought the doctor would schedule another app't -- I really didn't expect him to just pull it out and put a bandage on it.   I wasn't leaving you out, promise!

Oh, you're KIDDING, right?

He seems to be pretty happy this am so far but he hasn't had anything to drink and that's usually what causes the pain for him. So we'll see, thanks for all the prayers, everybody. Someday Aidan will fully realize how many people are in his corner, but I think he must sense it even now because he is just so confident and optimistic when he is going through these things.   When I change his bandage he gasps with pain, but immediately says, "It tickles!!"

Praying Willa! It doesn't seem that long ago when Elizabeth wrote an article about her friend Willa and baby Aidan and I was so touched. And I have been praying for him ever since.

Wow.

It's been such a long time.

I remember the trauma when they put it in. What a huge, huge step. Big for both of you. And you know you have my prayers.

I didn't want to post too soon, but Aidan seems to be doing much better.   Yesterday he was leaking quite a bit less and only seemed uncomfortable when he was exercising a lot. I have been putting Desitin around the area at the nurse's suggestion and that seems to be helping with the soreness and rawness. Thank you for the prayers!

I'm glad he's seems to be on the mend. That Desitin is magic stuff! Still praying for his comfort. I'm so happy he was able to reach this milestone!
