Good Bye IV pole!


Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Wyatt was weaned from his sedation medication and seizure medication. He no longer needed the pole that held his IV pumps!! He started with two poles full of IV pumps and now none. Wyatt is now awake more often and loves to be held. Doctors think that the mysterious bump of the back of his head is a pressure sore. His head bleed seems to be stablized. The next step will probably be getting an MRI but will need sedation for it. For now, we are encouraging Wyatt to eat from a bottle or breast feed.... which he will do for a few minutes and then stop. Wyatt associates things in his mouth as being bad since he had a tube in this throat for several weeks and was suctioned every few hours. Wyatt now has a tiny cry. His vocal cords are slowly healing and if you listen closely, you can hear a cry... yeah!! The pictures below is Wyatt sucking on his pacifer and Wyatt's Thanksgiving card that he made us with the help of his awesome nurse, Charla.
