6/30 update

Good evening everyone!

Walker had his first doctors appointment today with his normal pediatrician. He measured in at 21 1/4” and weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces. His pediatrician said he looked really good and said that we can up a couple of his meds a little since he is gaining so much weight. The main one we asked about is his gas meds, he is super gassy at night so wants to help him a little in that aspect.

With him home it has been an adjustment, we are learning the schedule that Children’s had him on and trying to stick that as best as we can. There has been some times where we just don’t hear our alarms on the first time and wake up in a fright. His pulse oxygen machine keeps us on our toes as he likes to set that off and have everything if he does need oxygen. Children’s set us up to help him before help can arrive so that is great. His dogs are absolutely loving him. Moose wakes up goes over to his bed makes sure he is good and then go back to sleep. Dottie waits till he is on the floor to give him attention.

Walker really likes to wake up at 3 am and makes sure both of us are awake and take care of him. He is still doing great with his bottle feeds and loving that.

We are all doing well and getting used to life here at home. With the little struggles and sleep deprivation we are learning what having a baby is all about.

We wanted to let you guys see all of the faces of Walker with this blog post as well here they are:

Moose absolutely love him. He really liked sitting on the back porch last night when the sun went down. The hat doesn’t fit but I had to put it on him Thank you everyone for your love and support with everything. We would love to have everyone meet him soon and trying to coordinate on how to do that but we are also still trying to figure this out as well. Thank you all for your patience as well.

Love you all

Walker, Brandi, Tyler, Dottie, and Moose

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...

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...
