Here’s to a New Year

2017 was filled with some really high highs and some pretty low lows. We started off the year with what seemed like hospital stay after hospital stay and eventually the trios became less frequent. We established some solid care routines for Wyatt and grew in our ability to care for him from the comfort of our home. He became even more of a bionic boy, with the addition of his BiPAP and the switch from a G tube to a GJ tube. We added in his least favorite torture device, The Vest. He screamed his way through some grueling PT and pool therapy sessions. 

But you know what else we did? We laughed. A lot. 

We went to the beach, traveled to Pittsburgh & Michigan, we made new friends, we learned new tricks, we kept up with lifelong friendships, we celebrated big milestones and little ones, too. 

I can’t wait to see what 2018 has in store for our guy. Whatever it is, I know it will be awesome. 

We thank you for continuing to follow our journey. Many of you have laughed and cried along with us. We hope you will stick around, share our story, continue to pray for us, and most of all, we wish you happiness in 2018. 

Here’s to a great year. 

P.s.- as I write this, Wyatt is sleeping comfortably after a fever scare. He went from no fever to 101+ in less than an hour. Thankfully, no seizure! His temp has slowly decreased with Motrin and we will continue to monitor. Cross your fingers and toes we can ride out this sickness from the comfort of our house. We love our Hopkins peeps, but we love our own beds more.
