HOSPITAL DAY 2: Monday, April 16

Our second day in the hospital was an emotional day. We learned that Wyatt would be in the NICU for the rest of his stay in the hospital and that I would be released before him. We were hoping that Wyatt would be released from the NICU and be able to stay in our room, but that is not what God had in store for us. It was very difficult to see Wyatt hooked up to so many machines, not being able to have multiple visitors at a time, and going back and forth from my room to the NICU.

Visiting Wyatt first thing in the morning...

A very strong grip holding my hand...

Even though things did not go according to our plan, we did receive good news that day. Wyatt's NICU doctor was able to speak to us reassuring us that Wyatt going to be ok and that this was just a bump in the road. Wyatt made big steps and was taken off oxygen. He was able to control his breathing and his lungs were absorbing the ambiotic fluids that was left in them from birth. To make things even better, Wyatt's feeding tube was removed. Big steps in the right direction to be able to come home soon!
