Update #45 for Wyatt Paul Sherwood

9.23.21

So little man failed his room air test but that is okay.  They will try again in a week...so he won't be home Wednesday unless they try again next week and he passes the test then.  We found out that he doesn't do well on my breastmilk because of the additive that he has to have in it.  He does well when it is directly from the boob.  He also does really well on the formula, so they will feed him on the formula and we will try the breastfeeding when he gets home again.  I will continue to pump and freeze the milk so that we can try it more when he gets home.  Other than that he did really well today and we will continue to keep trucking forward.

Weight: 5lbs 2oz
Height: 17in
Head: 11.8in
Gestation: 35.3 weeks
Age: 45 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! 🙏🏻 😇
