Wyatt's Surgeon- "SUCCESS!" which was the first word out of his mouth after surgery. The day started with a phone call from Wyatt's surgeon saying that there was a cancellation this morning and that they would like to start the day operating on Wyatt. We gave our consent and were on our way to Hopkins. Wyatt entered the operating room around 9:30 am and left around 3pm. The doctors started with putting an arterial line in Wyatt's leg to measure blood pressure and correcting his central line (it was in too far). The operation to repair the diaphragmatic hernia started around 11:40am. The surgeons cut an opening in Wyatt's chest on his left side under his arm pit. They also placed a chest tube in. Part of his intestine herniated into the chest in the middle of the patch near his heart. They patched the current patch and found that most of his left diaphragm was missing. After surgery, we sat by his bedside and saw that he looks fantastic compared to his past two surgeries. His colored looked good, stats stable, and opened his eyes for us. He is currently on a ventilator and will be weaned off it soon. He is also back at the PICU. Thank you again for your support and prayers. The above pictures are after surgery.

"They found his left diaphragm was missing????" Where did it go? Didn't anyone notice that on his first surgery? Thank God Wyatt is such a fighter. m
