5/24 full day update.

Good evening hope everyone had a good day!

here are some updates for Walker today!

Brandi let me have a guys day today to go fishing with my buddies and take a day away from the hospital and go have some fun. Thank you so much for letting me do this Brandi had a good day caught some fish and a really nice sun burn.

Anyways here is some of the things I was told today from Brandi and wanted to keep you guys up to date. From rounds this morning;

-Potassium is down 

-High Flo 6 liters 21% 

-Plan is still to remove pic line 

-2 episodes of bradycardia yesterday lasted 15-30seconds no change in oxygen. 

-58ml feeds 

-moving to high Flo to 5 liters

That Was the plan for the day. He did get some visitors today since I was off fishing he got to meet his aunt Jenn and aunt deyanna. They had a good time with him and were happy to meet him. After they left Brandi got to snuggle with him and have some one on one time and then it was time for the pic line. They took that out. Got rid of the iv line that he also had in his hand, and changed the level on the high flo. All in all he had a good day. When Brandi got home she got a phone call from children’s saying he had his longest episode of SVT today of 5 minutes and wanted us to know that he did have it, and that they are going to up his heart rate meds a little bit more. I was just getting back to the truck when this happened and got home and with this information we decided we were going to wait and see how the increase in meds will do before we go down there. That’s what we have for now. Want to thank the guys for a great day and thank Brandi again for letting me to go out and hang out with them. Was needed and appreciate it and took in all the time I could have just relaxing.

love you all,

Walker, Brandi, 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...
