Wyatt is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. He is a little miracle baby and we are so thankful that he has progressed this far. Just thinking about the hurdles that he jumped over from ECMO, diaphragmatic hernia repair surgery, silo surgery, chest tube, oscillator, ventilator, CPAP, brain hemorrhage, oxygen, feeding tube, wound in his neck... he is Thanksgiving. Today he took 15 ml of milk from the bottle (first time!!) His feeds are condensed over 2 hours instead of 4 hours. The doctors are even talking about taking him off oxygen. There is a mysterious bump, like a cyst on the back of his head. We need to figure out what it is... but it does not seem too concerning. Our surgeon believes it is from ECMO. We will see. I requested a consultation with the occupational therapist and physical therapist to get Wyatt up and moving!! His little voice is returning slowly. Because of the breathing tube, his vocal cords were probably damaged and need time to heal... so for now he is quiet Wyatt. Happy Thanksgiving, beside being thankful for Wyatt, we are thankful for Chloe and for all the family and friends that are praying for Wyatt and supporting and thinking about us. We would also like to thank Wyatt's nurse, Charla who always goes over and beyond the call of duty to care for Wyatt. Today Wyatt gave us a Thanksgiving card with his handprint.. thanks to Charla who helped him make it. Thank You.
