Surgery Follow-up

Today Susan, our nurse and myself took Wyatt to Hopkins for his surgical follow up with Dr. L. We also took Chloe... who ate a chocolate donut on the way, so when we got to Hopkins she started running everywhere:))) My sweet little girl was super hyper which distracted me and we missed our turn when our number was called. Luckily, my Dad met us at Hopkins to get her and spend the day with Chloe... so he took her to breakfast and then Aunt Danielle, Pop-Pop, and Chloe had an adventurous day together!

Back to Wyatt... Susan, our nurse vented Wyatt yesterday and out came bright yellow liquid. So today we informed Dr. L of this. So Dr. L ordered a chest x-ray. Our insurance does not cover chest x-rays as outpatient at Hopkins, so we waited around for approval and a few phone calls later we were cleared for an x-ray. While we were waiting, Wyatt's pulmonologist walked by, Dr. C and said he would also take a look at Wyatt's x-ray and call us later. He wanted to know if the fluid in his lungs decreased. Dr. L said the x-ray looks good and no reherniation. Wyatt has a cold which he got from myself or Chloe, but other than that he is ok. His sterostripes were removed today and his surgical site looks good. His blood work results came back and they looked good too. So besides his cold, he is doing fine.

Also, I just have to share that I have been reading a blog about an adventurous couple of four small children who were recently in a plane crash and are burned all over their bodies. Their amazing family are taking care of the kids and are writing about their story. Well... I was watching the Today show the other day and their blog was a featured story!! Also, this same blog led me to another blog of a couple who have a two year old named Chloe and pregnant with another girl. The mother was feeling bad and went to the hospital to find out that she had an infection, her blood was clotting in the wrong places. She had an emergency c-section, both legs amputated, as well as her hand, and she is now blind. She just got home from the hospital and her amazing husband writes about their story on this blog. This blog shows hardship, joy of a newborn, and the unconditional love they have for each other. It really makes you realize that there are a lot of good people in this world.

Wyatt turns one soon and my sister is getting married.. so the month of October is going to be busy...Wyatt's first birthday party, Wedding Shower, Bachlorette Party, and finally her Wedding in Mexico!!!!
