Sleep Study

Last week Wyatt had a sleep study done at Mt. Washington.  The results are in.  It was discovered that he has moderate to severe sleep apnea.  The obstruction is possibly adenoids and/or tonsils.  Consequently, Wyatt will have to undergo another surgery to have them removed (I think it's his 8th surgery in 3 years:(().  He is currently on 3/4th oxygen in the evenings, so hopefully after the surgery we can start weaning .

Otherwise, Wyatt is soaring with his walking.  He just got his SMO braces and will start using them.  He is using a walker more often and crawling comes easily to him.

He was just tested at KKI from the developmental pediatrician and the results showed that he is walking like a 10 month old baby.   The doctor used an algebraic equation to determine when he may walk.  It took him three years to walk like a 10 month old, so she predicts in seven months, he will be walking like a one year old???  Good news is that he is right on track with speech at 36 months and about 30 months with fine and gross motor skills.  She was very impressed that he falls in the "normal" category.  (I think he is exceptional:))

Wyatt is still attending PT sessions at KKI as well as Infants and Toddlers.  Doctors are contributing his lateness to walking to neurological hypotonia, probably resulting from his IVH grade 4 brain bleed at 14 days old.

He is my little miracle baby.  He is the funniest, most talkative 3 year old I have ever met.  He is also loving preschool.  He follows directions, sits in a circle, and loves making new friends.  I could not be happier with his progress!!
