He can eat!

Getting the okay to eat food is a really positive sign. Aaron has not been able to eat for two days. The doctors were afraid. If Aaron continued to get worse, he might be intubated. Intubating Aaron with food in his stomach could cause aspiration. The doctors must feel he is pretty stable to allow him to eat. They are going to try to wean his oxygen a tiny bit today.

The diuretics had to be stopped because they are affecting some of his labs. He has lost one pound of fluid so far which is great. He will also start photo treatment again today.

Thanks for the prayers.

Here is a video his nanny took a while back.
