Today we were moved from JHH NICU to Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital. Wyatt was placed on a stretcher at 11:30am and took the 10 minute ride in the ambulance to MWPH. Mt. Washington is nice... it's on a quiet campus surrounded by trees, it's really small, and parking is free. The nursing staff is nice and they seem attentive to Wyatt. He will remain there until the surgeons make their decision on surgery in about a month from now. The only thing that I don't like, is that it seems loud... babies crying in cribs, people walking through the room talking loudly... I feel that Wyatt is in an orphanage. It's a nice hospital with good doctors and good nurses, but we just want Wyatt home in a nice peaceful, quiet environment, surrounded by people that love him 24 hours a day. Otherwise, Wyatt is great, he sleeps through anything, and is doing well. Thanks everyone for all your support and prayers. In the above pictures, Jackie, our primary nurse is holding Wyatt and is surrounded by the BEST nurses at Hopkins. You will also see that Chloe was sent home today with 3 pig tales, complements of our nanny, Lori!!
I am a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) baby. My diaphragm developed with a hole in it and my organs were misplaced in my chest cavity. The organs pushed on my lungs, causing one lung to be very small. I was born on October 9, 2007 at Johns Hopkins. Now it is three years later: I am saying a bunch of words, I still receive foods through a g-tube and am on oxygen while I sleep. I can't walk yet, but believe I can out scoot anyone! Here is the story of my amazing and patient recovery.

I don't know how YOU are getting any rest. Hopefully, Wyatt will be home sooner than you think. He seems to be a very patient baby. Hanging in there and taking it all in stride, one day at a time. PatV.
yeah gina, my friends here who check his blog think the same thing. then i say, ' you don't know my sister.'
he is soooo cute. he didn't like that stretcher, eh?? can't wait to spend xmas with him!
ps. for halloween he was a snow pea, right? are you going to put evergreen and xmas balls over him for xmas?? he's going to hate this blog when he grows up... "mom, look what you did to me!!"
Wyatt is so loved by so many people even those who just got to know him. Gail, the nurse today, spoke to him like a mom. Wyatt is soooo loved. m
