x-Rays and Bath time 2.0

We had a pretty good day today.  The doctors decided to a "study" of Wyatt's re-feeding tube. They wanted to make sure that it was still inserted into the lower half of his small intestine an hadn't moved. This is critical because they don't want to take whats partially been digested and inject it into Wyatt's abdomen. So we had to wheel him down the first floor where he got his x-Rays after the life flight. It was pretty amazing to see. We watched them insert the contrast into his tube and slowly you could see his small bowel and colon show up on the screen. The radiologist that looked at it was very pleased with how it looked. That was good news. They are still slightly concerned about his CRP level. Your CRP level indicates inflammation in the body. The inflammation can be from and injury, from surgery, from an infection. So it doesn't tell us specifically what is happening, but they believe it could be a pre-cursor to additional infection so they are going to keep an eye on it. Thats good, but it also means they have to stick him more often.

Wyatt also had a follow up ECHO of his heart to make sure his PDA in his heart had closed on his own. They hadnt heard a murmur for a few days. The picture below is what Wyatt decided to do during the ECHO.  They have to put a roll under his back to make him arch a little so they can get the images they need. So he put his hands up by his head and fell asleep like this while they continued. Pretty cute.  

 Heidi doing more skin to skin with the Oral care people that are helping Wyatt learn to suck. He was too sleepy though.

We did Bath time again. How cute is this little face. We got him all clean and lotioned up and then into the warm blanket. He was all about it.  

Doing some oral cares. We put some breast milk on a Q-tip that he sucks on. He loves it.  

Smoked after all the action today. As soon as we put him in after his bath he was out.
