6/1 update

Good afternoon everyone, happy Sunday!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Walker is doing good, and today is officially 3 weeks old! His morning rounds update;

-3100 grams in weight

-Feeds staying the same.

-episode of SVT last night that lasted 5 minutes, one does of meds and pulled him out of it after stimulation maneuvers.

-today’s plan have a Sunday and relax and rest.

We got there this morning and his favorite nurse was with him again. She made him a sign about him being 3 weeks old today, she used his foot at the duck body and him as the sunshine. It’s so cute and his wall is getting somewhat full, but there will always be more room if people and kids want to send him more things that he can look at.

He looked so good today and was just chilling. We did put on a hat today and he looked great in it! We decided to come home a little early to get some things done around the house, hang out with the dogs and get ready for the next week ahead he was so comfortable when we looking to go.

He had a great day, tomorrow see if he can come down a level on the high flow, try oral feeds (will probably be only 3ml of food). Do a cortisol test to make sure everything is good with the meds he is on.

Hope everyone is enjoying the great weather we are having today and will try my best to do updates everyday this week, I have a hard time putting into words what happens during the day when I am not there. Might try and convince Brandi to write the blog this week!

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 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...
