BIG DAYS

12/24/2010-We're pregnant!
3/23/2011-Tuckers a boy. We also find out he has Myelomeningocele. Which is a defect where the spinal cord doesn't fully develop. Essentially the spinal cord has an opening. This also causes hydrocephalus; spinal fluid builds up in the ventricals (in the head) and needs a shunt put into to circulate back into the body.
3/28/11-Met with neurologist to talk about severity of Tucker's defect. It was hell waiting 5 days. After having a good talk, Liane and I went and did some baby shoppiing. It was a great day of relief.
7/27/11-C-section date 730am. Surgery to close his spine to come within 48hrs.
7/28/11-Surgery to close spine.

Goin for a ride

10:40am 7/27/11-After getting only about 20 minutes of laying next to mommy, Tucker got ready for his ride to Seattle Children's Hospital. Children't hospital is one of the best hospitals in the nation for Tucker to have his surgeries done at. We're actually pretty fortunate that I am living here, if I were still in Alaska we would have been flying Tucker to Children's. Overlake hospital was only about a 10 mile ambulance ride away. So Tucker and daddy rode away to Children's.
