Wyatt looks amazing, the best ever! His color is perfect and all his vital signs are great. His operations were successful and hopefully we will not have any further operations. Wyatt does not like surgery. It's always a rocky road afterwards.
His goal now is getting weaned from the ventilator. He holds my finger throughout the day and follows the pages in the books with his big blue eyes. His favorite is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. He loves to look at the pictures of the sun and butterfly and laughs when the caterpillar becomes really fat!! He is the cutest ever!!
We did experience a setback today. The doctors noticed in the head sonogram that the bleeding has progressed in his right temporal lobe. The neurological team immediately examined Wyatt and their suggestion was to monitor it with CT scans and hopefully the blood will be reabsorbed. If it's not reabsorbed then after he is stable (weaned from the vent) a shunt will be inserted or the doctors will drain the blood similar to an IV.
We told the doctors that we do not want to "watch" it to find out if it gets worse, but the doctors emphasized that conducting a procedure would be too risky. I trust them.
The consequence of bleeding in the right temporal lobe is seizures, Wyatt is on a medicine that will help prevent seizures.
Wyatt is very alert and moves his hands and feet which are all great signs! Wyatt is a little miracle in the making. He has endured ECMO and two operations. This is just
another hurdle he needs to get over.
Please continue to pray for our little miracle baby. He is the sweetest!!
