Kaiden is 5 days old today.
The doctors came to see him as I sit alongside him in his NICU suite at the University of Iowa hospitals.
They told me he looked great, his stomach looked amazing. They were turning his ventral (his stomach pump) to straight drain meaning that it wouldn't suction out his tummy anymore he would push it out himself.
I asked to hold him, they let me. It was the first time every holding my little Kaiden and it was honestly the best moment a mother ever has with her child.
