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.

Nice Moves


7/27/11 10:00-By now, about every type of doctor has taken a look at Tucker. Everyone is so pleased with the motor skills in his legs and feet. They are also thrilled with the fact that he is peeing and pooping on his own. Most people with s.b. do not have feeling down there and have to use a cathetar. Many doctors were saying how great his "tone" was. I came to realize that this meant his anus had a good clinch and that he could feel.
