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.

Tucker meets Maw Maw!!!


My mom came down from Alaska to meet Tucker for the first time. What an amazing, memorable weekend. She got lots of Tucker time, and I sure missed the hell out of her so I got lots of mom time. Won't see her nor the rest of my family until the end of January. They're planning a trip to come down for a week or so. It can't come soon enough.
