A Wonderful Day with Wyatt

I am working this week so that I can be with Wyatt during his surgery. Thanks to my friends and husband who spent time with Wyatt today. Again, I know I say it over and over again, but we are soooooooooo thankful to our friends and family who are so helpful to us. It makes me feel good to know that Wyatt is getting attention when I can not be with him. Pam and Paula spent the day with Wyatt and when they returned, Pam sent me an e-mail...I hope she doesn't mind me publishing her e-mail, but it makes me feel so good, I thought I would share it-

"Paula and I had a lovely visit with the big guy today. He just keeps getting cuter and cuter. And he doesn't miss much of what is going on around him. He is busy watching everything! He especially liked being held up on the shoulder with us standing and swaying. It is so much fun spending time with Wyatt! But you already know that!!"

Benji is with him now, tucking him in. The only issue with Wyatt is that he is spitting up alot and is losing weight slowly. Please pray for Wyatt to stop spitting up, to gain weight and to let the peg method for g-tube surgery work.

Meanwhile, we have an awesome case manager, Jennifer who is arranging everything for Wyatt to come home such as an equipment company to supply Wyatt's equipment, home nursing, etc... it's so exciting!!! I think we are going to have a mini-hospital in our house.

Update- Benji just arrived home and said that Wyatt gained weight!!! Your prayers are working already. I added a few more blogs to my blog roll. It seems that baby Cadenne is on a similar track to Wyatt. She just got his g-tube and we are so happy that she is doing so well. We are also happy for baby Par who is home and happy!! Check out their blogs on the side bar. Finally, Baby Ned's blog is very inspirational. His parents have such a postive attitude and I gain strength from reading their blog.

Oh! I forgot some exciting news.. Wyatt's oxygen cannules were pulled off yesterday (he pulled them off) without anyone knowing. He was stating in 99-100 percent range before I noticed it!! I think he really only needs oxygen when he falls into a deep sleep. Thank you God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, developmentally, Wyatt is holding his hands together and using his tongue more!! He tries to stick it out and attempts to have conversations with you.

Finally, I added a counter at the end of Wyatt's blog a few days after Christmas and it is now registering 6,350 hits. Wow!!! It's been almost two months since I added the counter and that' about 3,000 hits a month, on a average of 100 hits a day!!! I don't know if I even know that many people... but it just shows how many people care about Wyatt and are thinking/praying for him. I heard that Danielle's friends in Japan read the blog, my family from Italy, and CDH parents from Scotland and Bulgaria read it... Also a few nuns from two other states and my family and friends. Thank you so much for caring about Wyatt. We appreciate it.
