Wyatt's Surgery

We are very glad Wyatt's surgery is over. Lee said he is not allowed another surgery until he is at least 30. Again we were very disappointed with Children's Hospital. We love our surgeon and the surgery staff was great, but when we got to the floor it was just bad. The lady that brought Wyatt up from surgery said they would be in to hook up his IV. Everything was in the room, and they only need the bag of fluids. 3+ hours later he was still not hooked up. His blood pressure was low and he was not peeing. The nurse ended up finally hooking him up, and she had to give him a bolus of fluid. She ended up giving him 2 boluses of fluid which ended up making him swell. He was a cute "big" baby, but it scared mommy because his lungs started sounding wet. That night before bed we called the nurse 2 times in one hour, and she never came to the room. We heard them call her to the front for a phone call, and Lee said she would go up to the front now because she would not want to miss her call. Sure enough there she was. She only had 3 patients. Very disappointing....

Wyatt getting some love from his brother before we leave for Birmingham.
I think he likes riding in the wagon. Poor fellow doesn't know what is about to happen.
Before all the fluid overload...
After....

Guess Who Had a Birthday

I just had a take a picture of Tyler being a good big brother. Bailey was crying so he put her in his lap and read her a book. Poor Wyatt in the back ground is waiting his turn.
My baby turned 4 July 6. Oh how the time flies. She wanted to go to the Mexican restaurant so they would sing to her.
That fried ice cream was delicious.
She got her wish. They even let her wear the hat while they were singing.


RaRa went with us.
Brianne wants everyone to see her brace. Front...
Back....
Aunt Brenda and Elizabeth were able to come over and see Wyatt and Bailey the day before his surgery. I think Tyler and Brianne talked them to death. Tyler even managed to get in a few magic tricks while they were here. We hope they come again soon.

Guess What Got Broken at Our House

Why Brianne's clavicle of course! She will have to wear a brace for five weeks. Fun!!

Wyatt's surgery on Thursday went well. We are all now at home recovering. I think it may have been harder on mommy and daddy. We feel like walking zombies.

A VERY Good Day

Yesterday was a very good day for Bailey. She took 21 ounces of milk! She did not scream and fight us like she does every day. As I write this she completed today with another 21 ounces. Praise God!! I would say the stress level in the house has dropped 110% the last two days. The GI doctor almost doubled the prilosec she is getting in one day. She has a new med to start but the pharmacy has not gotten it in yet. We also changed the formula she get from powder to premixed liquid. It is very costly, but I think it is what has changed her attitude. She was only getting about 6 ounces of formula a day but it really must have hurt her tummy. If this does not work the GI doctor said we will need to be admitted to the hospital for a couple of test.
