oh my goodness time flies. My baby is 8 weeks old today. he is getting so big. I can't believe it. So much has happened over the last week. First we are without a computer at home so I'm updating from work which means no pics yet.
updates -
last week started out great and took a stressful turn. Tuesday I loaded Wyatt up and headed to Dr Freeman for his shots. I was a little stressed b/c I was all by myself and I prayed the whole way there that I wouldn't cry and that I could be strong. Once we got there Dr Freeman came in and was checking out Wyatt and he took a little too much time listening to his heart. Well I got nervous. Dr Freeman, in his upbeat voice, said "I think I hear a heart murmur". I didn't panic until he said he was sending us to a Peds Cardiologist NOW! Panic set in. He called and set up an appt for us and off we went to UMC. I made it to the parking lot before having a complete nervous breakdown and calling my mom (Chip was out of town with work). Mom met us at UMC and we went to see Dr Gaymes. God was watching over us. They did an EKG and Echo, Wyatt screamed the entire time b/c they were messing with him. He doesn't want to be messed with.
well the diagnose was that he has a vessel that should close up at birth didn't close up. he is getting too much blood too his lungs. It's not life threatening. We go back in 6 weeks for the same tests and if no change then we go back when he's 6 months and if still no change he will have surgery to repair it. Dr Gaymes said he will be 100% after the surgery. other than a small scar on his right leg, you won't even know he had surgery. It is definitely harder on me than him.
His doctors have been sent from God.
I went back & forth my entire pregnancy on which doctor I was going to use. I knew I wanted to use a male but my friend/water aerobics partner told me about Dr Freeman and I just had a feeling. a good feeling. I was right. I truly believe God sent us there for him to find Wyatt's problem.
Wednesday we had to go back to Dr Freeman for his shots. needless to say the shots were easy compared to the other stuff.
This week I started back to work and Wyatt started school. It's been hard but we are all adjusting.
I'm hoping to get to post pics soon. I need a new computer.

I will be praying for Sweet Wyatt. Everything about motherhood is harder on us than them. :( EVERYTHING! It is the (emotional) ride of our lives.
I know that you don't know me but I found your blog through Mandye Flowers blog. I just wanted to give you some support about the heart stuff. My youngest daughter was born with PFO and a VSD. We were back and forth at UMC for over a year. AS bad as I felt for Abbygale, I feel in love with all the doctors there. Dr Gaymes actually did Abbygale's heart cath and he was SUPER nice! Abbygale will be 2 in November. August 1, 2008 we found out that her PFO finally closed and her VSD is considered VERY small now so nothing is to be done. I am praying for your son and for your strength!
