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.

Bottle attempt

7/29/11 3:05pm-Liane tries to feed Tucker with a bottle. He has been feeding through an iv and now a feeding tube through his nose and into his belly.  He hasn't figured out how to breath while drinking lol.  We'll keep trying. Although, mom is doing an awesome job pumping. Milk's coming out like Niagara Falls!! So whenever he eats, he's having the good stuff!
