What I Love About Sundays

Church. Dinner. Homework for me. Naps. Family fun.

Ended the evening with a highly competitive Toy Story 3 memory game after Beckett went to bed.

The princess demanded Oreos and milk too...we gave in!

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. :(
12/17/10: New shunt placed by Dr. Moriarty. New location...behind the right ear instead of the frontal location! :) In Kosair Children's Hospital until 12/19/10.
