Wyatt was born on May 9, 2002 after a very difficult delivery. Within the first 24 hours of his life, he coded and had to be air-lifted to the NICU in Sioux Falls, SD. I was unable to accompany him. That was the one of the worst days of my life not being able to be with him. But, if he wouldn't have gone, he may not be with us today. Since then, Wyatt has had an amazing will to overcome soo many hurdles. He continues to inspire people everyday with the twinkle in his eye and infectious smile.
Our wish for Wyatt is to keep that strength and to continue building on it throughout his life.

After 15 hours of travel . . . we finally made it!

The trip to Dusseldorf went very well, but very long. We were able to get a little sleep on the plane, but not much. Wyatt did great, like always.

We settled into our hotel and took a nap. The sound of honking horns and crazy soccer fans woke us outside of our room. Once we made it to the streets, we were able to witness first-hand on how the Europeans take soccer so serious. We walked through the streets and took it all in - Wyatt covered his ears several times because it was really noisy.

We made it to the Rhine River and found a quiet restaurant to have something to eat. A stroll along the river lead us to an outdoor flea market. Wyatt spotted the trampoline immediately and had to try it. He loved it and didn't want to get down. Once we got back to the hotel room, Wyatt took a bath and was sleeping in no time. I had to wake him in the morning.

Grandpa and Dwight left this morning with no place in particular to go - they just told me that they would be back by tomorrow night - how cool is that!

Wyatt had his first appointment today. We met with both of his doctor's and did lots of paperwork. His next appointment is tomorrow and will be when they with draw his stem cells. Then on Wednesday, we go back for a consult with several therapists for the doctors to video tape Wyatt. This is something new that they have started. The tape will provide us a visual to use for comparision purposes in case we come back for a third treatment. Thursday will be his last day at the doctor and is when his cells will be re-implanted.
Well, so far so good. Everything is going fine. Time to get Wyatt settled in for a little nap before we go out for the evening.
