Update #29 for Wyatt Paul Sherwood

9.7.21

Wyatt was moved up to 35ml of breastmilk. He is gaining a little over an oz a day on average. He now weighs 3lbs 11.6oz and is 16 inches long! He is also doing well on the CPAP that they have him on and when he is 34 weeks (next week) they are going to try to move him to the high flow cannula. This will then allow him to bottle/breast feed soon too. He is doing well and surprising the entire staff daily!

These are the qualifications for Wyatt to get home too: eating a full bottle or "feed" without problems, be able to regulate his body temperature in a crib (he is still in an isolate), be on room air, no cords and pass the carseat test.

Carseat Test: must sit in thd carseat for 90 to 120 minutes or the length of the car ride home (45 min), whichever is longer. During the test, the nurse will monitor your baby’s heart rate, breathing and oxygen level. As long as there is no change and he can hold his head up okay, without problem than he passes!

I can't thank the doctors, nurses and everyone that has been caring for us all during this time.

😇🙏🏻 Thank you so much Wyatt's Warriors, please keep the prayers coming! 🙏🏻😇
