The Official Wyatt Update Thread

[Jordan]

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

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

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.

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.

God is great! Give those medical professionals a big hug too!

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.

[DUCKGOGETTER]

Great news bud i love seeing pictures of his progress.

[PaulMyers]

Wyatt is looking good. Glad to hear things are still going well.

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!
