Photo of Aiden Torres taken on February 18, 2010 inside Neonatal Intensive Care Unit @ AMCH

Aiden suffered a setback during his ever increasing feeding process when his abdomen started to expand and bile had to be pumped from his stomach. Doctor's immediately ordered all mother's nutrients to be stopped for now and TPN (Total parenteral nutrition- supplies all daily nutritional requirements) to be administered.

Aiden, born with Gastroschesis (Intestines outside of his body) has remained in Albany Medical Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit since his birth on Thanksgiving, 2009.  

ACCFCB reported on February 18, 2010 that Aiden was GOING HOME as early as tomorrow- Monday, February 22, 2010, this is an unfortunate development.
