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.

Rounds

Every morning I attend the doctor's rounds. This is where all the doctors and nurses discuss Tucker's condition. How much he's eating, what antibiotics/medicine he's  taking, temperature, what's next for him, on and on. It's a very informative 10 minutes. They also answer any questions I have and dumb their lingo down for me.
