I am blown away with the generosity of the people on this site. Thats all I can say.

An update: Wyatt is scheduled for surgery tomorrow to clamp off the PDA that refused to close with medication. This has been the thorn in his side for the last couple of days and I am glad it will finally be rectified. They did the brain scan today that we have been waiting for and it looks like he is sitting pretty good. We will get more official word tonight when we go visit but this is really good news. Everyone, if you would, say a few words for my little man tonight that his surgery goes well and he makes a speedy recovery. Thanks again everyone, y'all are proving why the South and outdoors people are some of the best people on this planet!

Here is a little up lift to Mediumheavy and his wife: I graduated high school in 1986 and was a EMT by the fal of 1986. I started driving an ambulance and entered school to become a paramedic in 1988. By 1990 I was a paramedic and in 1992 I was one of the first paramedics in a group to go through PALS (pediatric advanced life support) training which taught us to put an IV in the bone marrow of a patient to deliver fluids and medications among other things we would encounter with premmies.

Since that time of the early 90's, no other group has responded with a greater survival rate than the NICU. They are amazing and the medical staff I got to learn from were some of the best!!! The treatment of NEOnate patients is in direct respsonse to the baby itself, but unlike older patients, these babies are like the incredible hulk.

I have no doubt that Wyatt and his new friends in the NICU will one day be in pictures holding huge redfish on the fly here on the SC.

Wanted to share an update with everyone:

Wyatt had his surgery today at 12 to close off his PDA. The surgery went really well and he is recovering nicely as we speak. Hopefully now that this vessel is closed he can move forward and will be eating breast milk in no time. If we can move forward from here it will be looking good for my little man!
