Update #43 for Wyatt Paul Sherwood

9.21.21

Wyatt has taken 52% of his feeds for the nurses. He is gaining a good couple of ounces each and every day. He is waking up approximately 30 minutes before each feed telling the nurses that he wants to eat and he is hungry so they upped his feeds today. He got his tubby and is all nice and clean. As long as everything is going well, he should have a trial run off of his oxygen on Thursday! They should be able to tell really quickly and worse case they put him back on it. But, squishy is taking it off himself so, we will see! I have to bring his carseat in so they can work him to sitting in that ;). He has a few tests set up for the 27th of September that are routine or just check-ups on the things they are already aware of.

Weight: 4lbs 14.5oz

Height: 17in

Head: 11.8in

Gestation: 35.2 weeks

Age: 43 days

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, be on room air, no cords be at least 4lbs 5oz 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!

Oh, and mommy and daddy have to pass the baby CPR, shaken baby and carseat safety tests before he comes home.

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! 🙏🏻😇
