4-30-09 - Leg Appointment

We took Aidan to his 1st foot fitting appointment today with Alicia. It went well and we were able to put his foot on to see if it fit. Later that day he fell asleep in mommy’s arms.

Aidan's first foot fitting.

The best resting spot in the house.

4-13-09 - Cruising

First day I was able to use my cool new toy from Christmas. Take a look at me cruising for the ladies in front of my house.

Just starting my cruising adventure....

Who is that pretty lady- Oh it is just my mom... Let's keep cruising....

My cruising days are over today. I want to go inside and watch some TV.

Let's see what is on the tube... Oh one of my favorites "Classical Baby - Dance"

I had a pretty busy day today with my cruising and TV watching this is how I fell asleep in my crib.

4-12-09 Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I saw the Easter Bunny the other day. I took my picture with him and sent it around to the family. Here is my picture with the Easter Bunny in my nice clothes. We spent most of the day at Grandpa and Grandma Marino’s. We had a nice traditional Easter meal. I got some nice presents from the Easter Bunny. I even gave Toula a kiss as seen here.

Look at all the Easter loot from Grandma and Grandpa Marino









Grandma and Grandpa's dog Toula loves to give me kisses.

4-7-09 Admitted back into the hospital

Today I went to the hospital to get my PD catheter dressing changed and flushed and got admitted to the hospital. They thought that formula might be leaking from my g-j tube into my PD catheter. They did some tests the next day that proved negative. So the doctors are dumbfounded once again. Daddy says I have Frankenstein Syndrome i.e. a little bit of that, a little bit of this, and so on.

3-31-09 Daddy Fired Today

Dad got fired from work today. I am glad because now he can spend more time with me. I miss him every time he leaves for work.

3-20-09 - Surgery Day

Today I got my stomach wrap, peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter, and g-j tube replaced during my seventh surgery. I still have a lot more surgeries to do, including the big one i.e. kidney transplant. I came home just a couple of days later. I am a tough little bugger.

3-16-09 Grandpa Troxtel in the Hospital

Grandpa Troxtel is very sick and needed brain surgery to make him feel better. He is in Chicago and my daddy drove 5 hours to see him. His surgery was very successful and he came through with flying colors. I prayed really hard that he would be ok. I miss him and wish I could see him more often.
