5/26 Recap

Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Hope everybody had a great and safe weekend. Here is the recap for today. The morning huddle with the doctors, level four is still good and breathing at 21%. His sodium levels did go up so they were talking about weaning them down from that a little bit. They increased his feeds To 62 mL and also have been fortifying his milk for the past two days. They did not have any big plans for him and wanted to have him enjoy his holiday.

with this today, we had a very relaxing day with him. We got to hold him for quite some time and we also gave him his very first tub bath. He was not sure about it at first, but once we got the warm water on him, he thoroughly enjoyed it. after the bath, he was up for about three hours, looking around and taking in the entire room during this time, two of his favorite nurses stop by to check in on him as they had not seen him since he had his breathing tube taken out. They were very impressed on how well he is doing and surprised to see his pick line and IV lines out as well.

While he was still awake, grandma and grandpa Rick came down to visit with him. This was the first time that Rick has met him and found out what a lollipop is to Walker and thoroughly enjoyed giving Walker lollies.

this week has certainly been an amazing week for Walker. The strides that he has done is very impressive. He is impressing everyone at children’s every day and they are just so excited that he is doing so well Brandi and I have discussed it and we have talked about me going back to work and I will be starting tomorrow with that being said we will still be doing the blog and will get updates throughout the day and make one big post at the end of the day as I have been doing for the last part of the week this week. Thank you all for stopping in and checking on our little man the warrior is truly showing how much he is willing to fight.

Hope everyone has a great night and does not have a case of the Mondays tomorrow at work.

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...
