Wednesday - Wyatt meets a celebrity!


What a day! Wyatt was moved to the NICU which is a step forward. In the NICU he will learn to eat and it's a quiet environment especially for babies. Wyatt had a very stable day.

The highlight of my day was meeting Dr. Ben Carson, world-renowned neurosurgeon. I was sitting by Wyatt's bedside and Dr. Carson walked up to introduce himself and I said,
I know you!! You are a celebrity!!
Our 7th graders read your book "Gifted Hands" and watch your play.

I was star struck!!! I could not believe that it was just me, Wyatt, and Dr. Carson. No entourage. He was very modest and very nice. People wait for months for an appointment with him and here is was examining our son!! I was so star struck, I forgot to get a picture of him and Wyatt or even ask all the questions I had. He examined Wyatt and said that his team is keeping a close eye on him.

The type of bleed that he has usually resolves itself and he told me to pray :))) Wyatt had a great Halloween. Again, thank you for everything. As I finished writing this, I just called to get an update and the doctor informed me that Wyatt had a seizure on his left side so I have to meet with neurology in the morning. Keep those
prayers coming.
