The Sherwood Affect

Update #60 for Wyatt Paul Sherwood

10.8.21

So, Mr. Man got circumcised this morning and took it like a champ. He also got his 2 month shots.

We found out last night that he has a very small hole in his heart that is not affecting why he is on oxygen yet. They believe that he is on oxygen due to his “age” and partially due to his anemia being lower. So the doctors set up a plan to try him off of his eight of a liter tomorrow. IF he fails the test, they will keep him for another week and try him off of the oxygen again at the end of that week. WHEN he passes the room air test they will monitor him for 2 days and then he gets to go home.

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

Weight: 6lbs 0.1oz

Height: 18.11in

Head: 12in

Gestation: 37.5 weeks

Age/NICU stay: 60 days

Accomplishments: I got circumcised!

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! 🙏🏻😇
