The strongest , bravest person I know...

Who would of thought that the strongest, bravest person I know is my son. Today we received a phone from Mt. Washington saying that Wyatt is getting transferred back to Johns Hopkins to the PICU where it all started. When I called Mt. Wash this morning, Wyatt was doing GREAT! But then in between the morning and when we were going to visit him in the afternoon Wyatt's nurse saw him swinging his arms and legs and discovered that he was choking on his own vomit. His heart rate dropped to 60 bmp. He recovered, but then his heart rate jumped to the 190's. The doctor put an IO in his leg because they were unable to find a vein for an IV. An IO is a large needle (I took a picture and it will be posted in the near future)that is injected through the leg bone to the marrow. Benji is sick at home with the flu so I am staying at my parents so I can stay healthy. So my Dad and I arrived at Mt. Wash when the ambulance arrived with the EMT's, PICU nurse, and a PICU doctor. We all boarded the ambulance and rode to Hopkins together (I think Wyatt just wanted another ambulance ride!). Wyatt was stable, a little pale, and appeared thinner. The surgeon said that he experience a "life-threatening" event today. When we arrived at Hopkins, the IO was removed and the nurse attempted to get an IV in. It was unsuccessful so the doctor tried to put a central line in his leg, which was unsuccessful so she called the surgeon, Dr. Chandler (who helped with Wyatt's original surgery) to put in a central line in the leg which was unsuccessful. Then she attempted to put the central line in his neck and it worked. Thank goodness. The total attempts took about 3 hours and the next step would of been going to the operating room!! Dr. Chandler was awesome... so patient and always having a great attitude. While my dad and I waited for 3 hours in the waiting room, we met a 78 year old women who sits in the waiting room all day while her daughter is with her husband who has a staph infection. She knew everything about every patient, so we got the scoop on everybody!! We also met a dad who has a 13 year old daughter diagnosed with cancer with a ten percent chance. The PICU is so intense and such a special place. Every family has a story and it's all very serious. I also met a family that has been there since Sept. 1st with their young child. They come everyday and stay all day with him. Please kick up the prayers into high gear... Wyatt really needs them now and so do all the other PICU families. He is such a strong little boy. Also... thank you Dan, Grace, Maria, and Joe for visiting Wyatt yesterday:))) and Benji... get better too!!! Happy New Year everyone. We are extremely thankful for all the support and PRAYERS from everyone.
