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.

Time to catch up . . .



Wyatt's re-implantation procedure was set for July 1st, 2010. Dwight stayed close by every step of the way which helped keep Wyatt (& mom) calm. Once Wyatt was put under and I made it back out to the waiting room, the procedure took a mere 6 minutes for the doctor. I was amazed on how quick they work, we were on the next floor in the recovery room within another 10 minutes.



I am so thankful that I brought Wyatt's DVD player and some of his favorite movies. The longer that he can stay still, the quicker that he should recover from the anesthesia.



Some of the side effects that are possible are headache, vomiting and leg pain. When we were in the hospital, Wyatt ate very good and kept everything down. Once we were discharged, I wanted Wyatt to get some more rest in our hotel room. He rested for just a bit and was getting antsy. We decided to take a bus and do a little shopping. He started complaining of a headache and kept grabbing his leg. A few minutes later he threw up. I ended up carrying him back to the hotel (whew!) and that's were we stayed until the morning. He is such a little trooper!
