Happy 9 Month Birthday Wyatt!

Wyatt turned 9 months old today and he celebrated by going to see his surgeon today! Yesterday our nurse Kathy and I took Wyatt to Hopkins for a chest x-ray. When we arrived they said we are scheduled for an ultrasound and go down the hall... well we went down the hall and they said we were scheduled for a chest x-ray!!!! So they had to call the surgeon to confirm and we were in fact scheduled for a chest x-ray!! Then our order sheet was lost and finally found. We are so happy we Hopkins... but sometimes it's like a small city and you can get lost in the shuffle. The x-ray took a few minutes and we were on our way home a couple of hours after we arrived:)))

It was all worth it... because when we went to our surgical consult today, Dr. A read the x-ray and said "I think a lot of people have been praying because the results say that the intestines are no longer in his chest!!" I said WHAT!!!! The other surgeon Dr. C said that it is very rare that it would go back down. We would have to get a cat scan or MRI to confirm but our surgeon is remaining to be an optimist and is trying to avoid surgery for now. The left lung does have a lot of fluid and is slightly collapsed. Wyatt did catch a cold that I have.

So what explains his times when he get VERY uncomfortable??? It may be a malrotation of his intestines which in time will fix itself. Wyatt just has to grow. Normally that condition is repaired through surgery, but for CDH patients it's common.

So a little miracle occurred today and I'm happy... no surgery in the near future and another x-ray and appointment in 3 months. There is a God:)) Thank you.
