Thanks Stan, this is something we can agree on.
|
Never too much detail or info. I enjoy the updates. After I red this one I had tears in my eyes because I can hear the love and concern for your son. I can't wait for post on his adventures at home. Still praying for y'all.

It appears that the diuretics are helping Wyatt's lung recovery. The doctors have lowered him on his vent settings from 35 to 15 breaths per minute over the last three days. The doctors also increased his feeds from 6.5 ml to 7 ml per hour. Everything seems to be on schedule as far as they are concerned so we are good too. Hopefully this trend continues I think Wyatt is ready to start growing and get ready to come home!
|
Great news and the faith up. He feels that. Praying for y'all.

Update on Wyatt. Sorry it has been a while but work got busy again for the last time this year. Wyatt has been doing pretty good lately. The other day Wyatt decided he wanted to try cpap again so he pulled his vent tube out. He has been doing ok on his third attempt on cpap and we are hopeful that he will make it this time. Wyatt has gained more weight and is knocking on three pounds weighing in at 2 lbs 13 ounces! On an another note I went fishing for the first time since October. Didn't set the world on fire but managed a few on the fly!
|
Sounds good!
|
Ya gotta take breaks man! It's good for your spirit which, in turn, is good for his!
|
Great new Lucas! Good to see you back on the water, is that my new galvan?
|
Never posted on this thread but check it every day. glad to continually hear the good news. We say a prayer every day for the little man. Keep sending updates.
|
Almighty God,
bless this dear child, born before their time, yet made in your image and perfect in your sight and Father, we ask that if it be Thy will, that this beautiful infant grow stronger and healthier with each passing day. Give us, O Lord, the strength to entrust to your care, this precious little child so very much beloved, and grant us the grace to pray as Jeasus taught us, that 'Thy will be done'. |

x2 great news lucas prayers sent daily for your family |
Little man is looking good!!!! A "pink" baby is a healthy baby!!!!! Always remembered that from one of my old docs that taught me so much while in my paramedic classes. Old Dr. Charlie Prejean sure is missed and as for as a "teaching" doctor, he ran circles around everyone. I called him from the hospital in Deridder, LA one morning when I was picking up a premie and told him what I was looking at, what the attending had done and what I thought needed to be done. His response, "Foti, quit wasting my time, do what you think needs to be done and get that baby pink". - "Then haul your a** hear"!
Take this time to start reading on infant CPR, they won't let you leave w/ him till you know it, and start stocking up on batteries, he will probably be on a apnea monitor at home just as a precaution. Once he gets home he will grow like a weed and be able to rest well. He is looking great!!!!! Call me anytime if you have any questions or don't understand what is being said to you and I will try to help out in anyway possible. |
P.S.- Are you ready to shave??????
|
Lucas, im still sending prayers for Wyatt and family. If you are unable to get ahold of Brian, give me a call and I can ask my dad any questions as he is an EMT/Paramedic also and knows alot about babies.
|
Brian, thanks for the offer. I have learned a lot about this stuff in the 55 days I have been doing it. I am ready to shave but I am also proud to have the beard for Wyatt, and it makes a good conversation piece. I am already health care provider certified in CPR and first aid. I had to take those classes to get my captain's license.
Jordan, thanks for the offer too. A little update, Wyatt's cpap settings were lowered this morning to 10 bpm from 15 and his feeds were raised to 7.5 mls! I was off today so I spent the last 5 hours with him. I am now heading to the camp in Gueydan to try and bust some ducks in the morning. |

Great news Rick Ross -umm I mean Lucas
I'll give you a shout when I hit BR for Christmas |
Wyatt was lowered to 5 breaths a minute on cpap yesterday. His feeds were increased to 8 mls an hour! I'm hoping that he continues and will be on to the next stage of lung care by Christmas. That would be the best present ever. The boy is also knocking on the door of 3 pounds! He was at 2 14 last night.
|
Wow.....the little guy has come a long way. Godspeed Lucas!!
|
Yes indeed!!!
|
Awesome news. Praying for y'all.

this is gonna make a Christmas story someday

Glad to hear he is packing on the weight. Hope all keeps going well for you guys.
|
Wyatt was put on straight cpap today and they are talking about putting him on vapotherm tomorrow. Vapotherm is the next step in the process of getting Wyatt to breath on his own. In fact, this is the second to last step on that road. Wyatt's feeds where increased again today to 8.5! The boy is getting some serious groceries. His weight last night was 2 pounds 14 ounces. Here's hoping this continues.
|
Isn't God good. That's awesome buddy.

Wyatt is still on straight cpap and I hope that the doctors will consider lowering something today. Wyatt is one ounce from 3 pounds and I am hoping at tonight's weigh-in he will be there. I am visiting him this morning and I came in to him being patriotic. I am pretty sure he was saying the pledge of allegiance.
|
Great news bud i love seeing pictures of his progress.
|
Wyatt is looking good. Glad to hear things are still going well.

Looks good.

Wyatt was switched over to vapotherm today (with a little persuasion from his dad) The first blood gas was better than this morning's when he was still on CPAP. Fingers crossed!

Good news.
