Wyatt gave us a BIG scare yesterday. There were multiple things going on. His red blood cell was 1.5 and Hemoglobin was 6. His left lung was filled with fluid and he felt like he was suffocating, his shunt tubing disconnected and he was very very lethargic with minimal pain meds. His eyes were dilated and he could hardly speak. It was terrifying. All this was going on while Chloe had her last day of junior year and was getting ready for a dance. To address all this- Wyatt had a blood transfusion and was given iron in his fluids. He started Lasix and chest PT to address the fluid. His chest tube was removed. He had an eye exam to test pressures. He had a brain MRI shunt series to test if he needs his shunt anymore. All tests were normal.
Today he was moved back to the regular floor. He’s talking, telling the nurses when and how to give his meds, and is back to his self. Now we can focus on getting stronger, walking and healing. He even had a little smile. There’s always something, but nothing he can’t handle! Wyatt just shared with me that he was scared yesterday. He felt like he was suffocating. Tomorrow is a new day and we are going to focus on all the positives!
