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....
