Big Sis' Snow Day!!


Chloe and I had a nice snow day together. It was the first time in two months that I did not go to Hopkins. It was weird to be away from Wyatt, but I called throughout the day and everything was fine. Jackie was his nurse and she took good care of him. Chloe enjoyed her first snowstorm, all day she looked out the window saying, "Snow." She also enjoyed getting pulled around our neighborhood in her sleigh. I thought she was super cute in her marshmallow snowsuit!

As of now, it looks like Wyatt will be transferred to Mt. Washington on Monday. Today he received his immunizations and RSV shot and tomorrow he will receive his head sonogram. It's bittersweet leaving Johns Hopkins. We have been there everyday since I delivered (expect for one day) and established many relationships with the doctors, nurses, other patients, and even the hospital priest! We want to thank everyone who cared for Wyatt... especially the doctors who were with him from the beginning, Dr. Berkowitz, Dr. Chandler, Dr. Fackler, Dr. Ruis and the nurses especially, Charla, Launa, and Jackie. The friends we met along the way, the Jensen Family, and Wyatt's neighbor, Drew. We also became close to other families while we were in the PICU. Today, we visited Wyatt's friend, Jack who is in the PICU. It brought back so many memories of the early days. Thank you for your prayers and support... we are very grateful.

Hi guys. Thanks so much for visiting Jack (and us) today. Wait 'til you see him tomorrow. He made huge progress today. When we got home we found the other gifts for Jack (bibs & booties). I didn't see them tucked in the bag you gave us. They're great! Jack will LOVE the Frogs! I'm so happy Wyatt is getting transfered because that's 1 step closer to home. I'm so glad we got to meet you guys before we both leave Hopkins. Our little guys will forever share a CDH-ECMO-PICU-NICU bond!
See you tomorrow on your LAST day!
Love
Vicki, James & Jack

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you and wishing you well. I'm really sorry to hear about Wyatt's recent set back. Be good to yourselves, if you can, in the midst of all this.

p.s. Chloe looks so cute in her little snow suit!
