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.

2 Months Old


Tucker is 2 months old now and doing very well.  The soy formula is working great and helping him feel much better and letting us all sleep more.  We're optimistic that he isn't lactose intolerant, we've heard lots of baby's go through the same thing. We are still cathing him once a day and doing pt with him. A physical therapist from Birth-to-3, visited and gave us a couple other things to do with Tucker. Tummy time, which he already is very good at since most of his life he's been on his tummy. And playing on his side to help his hip rotation. He gets cuter every day, I swear, it's astonishing.
