6/14 day day 38

Good evening everyone!

Morning rounds information:

  1. weight 3390 grams
  2. no SVT in since 6/3
  3. respiratory 3l at 21%
  4. plan for today; have a relaxing weekend.

Walkers favorite nurse was with him today, she made the decision that he didn’t need his isolet anymore and was ready for a crib. When we made that change Walkers great grandfather and great grandmother came today and visited with him. They both had a great time and held him combined for 3 hours and he was sleeping the entire time. He was so great while they were there.

After they left it was time for a diaper change and the little guy got me good with a bowel movement. It was quite and episode where we had to change linens and everything. We then chilled as Brandi took a personal day for herself where she got a massage and just relaxed for the day. Walker and I watched some nascar today and then it was time for the next diaper change and the little guy peed on me! I don’t why he decided today was the day but told him good thing you did this today because tomorrow your supposed to be nice to me.

One of his doctors came in today after rounds just to check on him and said that if things keep going how they are going and we can ween him down to 2l at 21% he will be graduating from the nicu to a regular room! This is great news but Brandi are still trying to figure out if that good, we love the nicu team and are comfortable with a lot of them and will have to restart with a whole new crew. This won’t happen for at least another week but wanted everyone to know he is making huge strides.

I did get some good pictures of him today.

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...
