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.

Better with the bottle

Tucker almost got the whole thing down! That's a huge improvement and has been one of our focus's before we go home.  He's getting better every hour.  Getting more energy, strength, and more baby like. If he keeps getting better at this rate, we could be taking him home by Wednesday! This will be great since we're on day 13 without staying in our own bed, seeing our dog Jersey, nor putting Tucker in all his ridiculously cute clothes.
