Update #59 for Wyatt Paul Sherwood

10.8.21

Wyatt at 140ml+ yesterday, so doing really well on his free feeds. He also gained weight which is showing them he is getting so ready to come home. Today he got an echocardiogram to make sure his heart is doing okay (standard for babies that have been on some sort of oxygen support this long). He will then get his 60 day shots and his circumcision tomorrow. Saturday they will do the room air test and WHEN he passes that his release days would be either Monday or Tuesday.

Dear God please let this help him go to room air as mommy and daddy want him home without oxygen.

Weight: 5lbs 15.9oz

Height: 18.11in

Head: 12in

Gestation: 37.4 weeks

Age/NICU stay: 59 days

Accomplishments: I am eating on my own schedule!

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. DONE!

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! 🙏🏻😇
