I had this crazy dream a few months into Liane's pregnancy, before we knew our baby's gender.
Liane and I had had our baby a few months prior, and I was going to bring our baby girl to work for the day. So I put our baby in the car seat and drove to work. I then put her in the stroller and proceeded into work. Everyone was so excited to see our girl! The most odd thing about this dream was our baby girl. She wasn't actually a human baby girl. She was a 5" tall little indian plastic figure. But everyone, including me, treated her as if she were a normal cute little baby girl. I buckled her in, very loosely, into the car seat, the stroller and treated her like a normal baby. LOL, what the hell Ricky??? Her name was Patso. I took her in the break room for lunch, sat the little plastic figure on my lap and began to eat. I had a to-go box with a burger and fries in it from The Rock for lunch, as I always take leftovers to work. She got a little fussy so I put her in my to-go box next to my fries so she could be closer to me. She calmed down. Several co-workers came by to meet her and tell her how cute she was. A co-worker, Marita, came by hugged Patso and me, was crying and so happy for me. As I was eating my fries, I picked her up and almost ate her on accident. I apologised to baby Patso and put her back down. That's about all I remember.
Tucker Alan Schreckenghost was born at 8:02am on July 27, 2011. Tucker was born with Spina Bifida (S2) and has already shown us how strong of a person he is. My goal is to tell his story to friends and family and share his journey through this unpredictable life. To learn his full story, start from the first posting. Enjoy!
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.
