Wow, we made it through the first week! Aidyn is doing great, and we are thrilled to have him join our world. He seems to be an incredible sleeper and he eats like a champ...I bet he got that from the Sandstrom side!! We have had some adventures along the way for sure, as you can see in the pictures.
Aidyn had some jaundice, which is when the liver is not functioning at full capacity, so their skin appears sorta yellow. So, he had to wear a blanket called a Billyrubin blanket that gives off UV light....as you can see in the picture above where it looks like Aidyn is a little lighting bug. He wore it for three days straight, rough on the family, they could not snuggle as much as they wanted to, but in the end on Monday morning, he was cleared by the doc. She said he looked amazing and he was set. He even gained 7 ounces in four days which is about double what they should....see he really is a good eater!
He also had his first bath, not totally thrilled about the process, but he had adorable fuzzy hair and smelled like an angel. It was a real treat.
Having Mom, Dad, and Kristen here for this time has been something to cherish. Family is such an amazing thing, and I could never in my wildest dreams imagined them not being here.They were an incredible help with cooking, cleaning, and the continuous running of errands. We love them dearly, and thank them from the bottoms of our hearts for all they did and are still doing!
We have slowly introduced Fisher (our 2 year old yellow lab) to Aidyn, he is doing so well. Adjusting to not as much attention, and trying his damnest to get in a good lick every now and then. But all in all, we could not ask for a better dog...he is doing great.
People have been asking for our contact info, so I will give it to you all just in case you do not have it.
