Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Wyatt is one month old. I am in amazement how much Wyatt has accomplished in one month. Wyatt is such a strong, brave little boy who has overcome so many obstacles, more than most people have experienced in a lifetime. He always looks so calm and peaceful and fights hard to make progress. We are so proud of him. The doctor's and nurses at John's Hopkins are the best. It's always a team of doctors to discuss a plan for the day to help continue his progress. The team is comprised of the NICU doctors, Pediatric Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, hematologists, nurses, etc... We have them to thank for Wyatt's progress. We also have our wonderful friends and family to thank for their support and most importantly prayers. Please keep praying for Wyatt. Even though he has accomplished so much in one month, he still has a long way to go. The bleed in his brain needs to diminish. Wyatt also has a lot of fluid around his lungs, which makes it difficult for him to breathe. Finally, Wyatt's digestive tract needs to accept breast milk. Please continue your prayers....

Today was a great day! I felt like a real mom to Wyatt. I had a chance to give Wyatt a bath with real soap and water! I also had a chance to see him with no wires or tubes on him during his bath. Finally, I had an opportunity to hold him for a while after his bath. I am very blessed to have Wyatt and Chloe and my life.
