Autumn, Christian, and Kylie

On Tuesday we visited with Autumn, Christian, Kylie, and Autumn's mom Rose. Paisley was sooooo looking forward to holding, feeding, and playing with Baby "Kygee", but was much more interested in playing with Christian once we got there.

I did get a couple of pictures...pretty cute!!!

While Rose entertained Paisley and Christian, Autumn and I relaxed (while I held Kylie of course) and just had a chance to talk...very nice!!!!

Beckett's Beginning

6/30/10: Born at 1:20 pm, 8 pounds 7 ounces, 20 inches long
7/1/10: Myelomeningocele repair surgery and insertion of EVD (exterior ventricular drain) to temporarily drain fluid from the brain. 2:45 pm-6:45 pm. Off the ventilator in recovery room. We saw him around 7:30.
7/2/10: Lots of waiting and staring at our beautiful boy! Finally ready to eat for the first time around 5:00 pm after the anesthesia wore off. What a relief!
7/3/10: Beckett was in a lot of pain as the anesthesia was completely gone by this point. Pain meds/Tylenol today!
7/4/10: Bandages from back incision removed.
7/9/10: Removal of EVD and shunt placement. 1:15 pm-5:30.
7/15/10: "Flip Day!" Beckett was given the okay to be on his back today, which means...we finally got to hold him! Lots of snuggling! :)
7/19/10: VCUG-normal. :) Hip Ultrasound-normal. :) Renal Ultrasound-normal. :) Circumcised.
7/20/10: HOME!!! After 20 days in the NICU. Discharge weight: 8 pounds 6.7 ounces.
7/23/10: First visit to see Dr. Nassim. Weight: 8 pounds 6.7 ounces.
7/29/10: Suture removal and wound check with Joy at Dr. Moriarty's office. No problems.
Weight check/One month check-up with Dr. McMonigle. 8 pounds 12 ounces (30th %). 21 1/4 inches long (75th %). Head circumference 37 cm (50th %). All looks great! :)
8/9/10: No more weight checks needed for this big guy... 9 pounds 7 ounces!!!!
8/11/10: First Steps Case Conference...Beckett will receive PT once a week for one hour. There is no real concern with his development at this point, but he qualifies for services, so he might as well get them!
9/1/10: Head CT...all normal. A little fluid. Back Dec. 15 for an MRI.
12/15/10: MRI. Fluid in the ventricles similar to the day the shunt was placed on July 9. Shunt revision on Friday. :(
