5/15 evening update

Good evening everyone

We got down to Walker at about noon today and let me tell you when we walked into the room and started talking he went crazy! We got all rinsed up and sanitized and started holding his hand and talking to him and was so happy. He was under light therapy today due to his levels starting to rise for jaundice, we called it him being in a tanning bed all day they have this blanket that does the light therapy as well so he was able to have it all the way around him.

Chloe his nurse (she’s been with him two days now) is absolutely amazing. We asked her if we could hold him and went and got someone and mom got to hold him first. She got an hour and a half, it was time for her to get nutritients for him so I got to have some time with him as well! Got almost two hours and let me tell you his stats and oxygen is best when we are holding him. I forgot to say he was a little fussy with mom and we couldn’t figure it out Chloe came in and we were trying to figure what was going on she left to grab someone to put him back in his isolet and as soon as she left he let out the biggest fart I have ever heard a baby make! After the fart he settled back down and was calm and peaceful again. Chloe also made Walker a sign today of his name and hung it up in his room!

Once I said I got to hold him long enough they got him back in bed and we notice he isn’t on a catheter anymore! That’s great news! We then had dinner with him and he got the news he gets more milk. Went for 8 m/l up to 11m/l might not seem like much but he was getting so full and sleeping wonderfully. We then talked about how we are both feeling and consoled with each about the week we have had. While this was going on the kidney team came it. They said with his increase in urine they don’t think they need to check on him for a month! That’s great! Shift change came and George his first nurse that he got at children’s was his nurse again tonight and we said oh George has got him we are going home to get more rest.

We are home and going to get more rest, hang out with dogs. We are gonna get up earlier tomorrow so we can make it rounds in the morning with the doctors. It was a great day he is improving! Thank you everyone! Hope you all have a great night we will see you in the morning!

Walker, Brandi, and Tyler

Good evening/Good morning! Walker first full day in this world was a day of tests. Started the morning with an attempt at a pic line IV for him have better access for meditations, and things that will help with his sugars, electrolytes, and salts. Also with the IV he has right now we aren’t able to hold him with the placement of it. It is not in very far. That wasn’t successful due to how windy his vessels are. After that he got an xray to check on how his lungs and they are clearing up! Fluids are starting to leave and let him use his lungs. After that Brandi came down and checked on him and got to spend some time with him she has been absolutely amazing with getting him the nutrients that he needs. We let the doctors come in and do an echocardiogram on his heart and do some imaging. At this time his blood sugars had started to level out yesterday very low and this morning very high so that was a win! we all went upstairs and let the doctors check on Brandi and make sure she is still ...

Good morning! 5/13 morning update

Good morning everyone! Yes we have all slept. We will start with that. I wanted to thank everyone that are enjoying these updates. This is so much easier for us to post here and get the information to everyone rather than individual texts to everyone. I have made comments open as well and we are reading them on here. Thank everyone for your support. Recap: Last night after we got here to children’s they started right in giving him the best care and wanted to get a picc line established. His first two hours here we were successful on that getting put it! (Huge win!). After that it got pretty quiet in the room with him, Brandi was updated and FaceTimed with him and we all went to sleep. He did have a few people check on him throughout the night but was really quiet, happy he got to rest as well! while we were asleep at children’s Brandi got the news that they are starting her discharge today, started around 5 am now almost 10 and close to being out of there (we do know that it takes quit...

Good morning everyone! First I want to say happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Want to give a big shout out to my mother Janet for being the rockstar that she is! She has been doing everything she can help us with everything. Second my wife, Brandi you have shown you are ready for motherhood and you are one of the strongest women I have ever met, I am beyond proud and privileged that you are the mother to Walker. You are killing it! Now the update you all came here to read, it has been an interesting night! Last night the nurses came in to do the last monitoring session of the day for Walker and the little guys heart rate has gone down! Went down to much! Was at 90-98 so he had everyone pretty freaked out and had every doctor from the OB on full alert, we gave him some time watching him on the ultrasound and his heart rate came back up to normal rhythm. With this the little turkey caused another room changed at 12:30 am. We are now back down stairs on the labor&delivery l...
