Hey everyone, this is Tyler publishing tonights update! First I want to thank everyone for all the prayers and support that you have shown us during the last week, thank you thank you thank you.

Ok, on with the update...

So, Jenna and I have settled into a decent routine now where we get to hang out with Wyatt from 1:30pm to 6:00pm. During today's visit we received a bunch of great news from Wyatt's nurse.

First and most importantly, he is sucking down his bottles like no bodies business! This is really good news because it means he isn't showing any signs of developing a feeding aversion (this is my assumption, not something the nurse told me). This assumption is because they have been increasing the volume of intake by 5ml each feeding. By 0200 tonight he will be up to 60ml and that is the volume he needs to be eating before they will remove his IV. So lets hope and pray he keeps sucking them bottles down like Budweiser's.

Second and equally important, later this evening Wyatt will be downgrading his residence, this is a really good thing, let me explain. The Wolfson's NICU is separated into two sides. Side A, has all new transfers and holds the babies that need intensive care around the clock. Side B, is called the "feeders and growers" side where newborns are just being monitored while they tie up all the loose ends in preparation for going home. So, Wyatt is downgrading from Side A to Side B TONIGHT!!!!
(Just to fend off the question that you're thinking, no we don't have a discharge date, but we are moving in the right direction.)

Other random updates are...
This morning he had his last dose of antibiotics.
He put on his first T-shirt and is now allowed to wear clothes for warmth instead of a warming lamp.
He is also getting a new bed, out of the high tech warming bed to a generic crib on wheels (i'll be putting a lift kit and off road tires on it for a Christmas present, lol).
Jenna's milk is in!

Now on to what you're really here for, photos and videos of the man of the hour...Wyatt!!!


Ohh ya I'm a ladies man.


Hi everyone, I can't wait to meet all of you!


Hey everyone look at my mommy, she's the prettiest woman I've ever seen.


Don't mind the stuff caked on my face, I just had the most delicious bottle ever!

What in the world is happening to me?
They're called hiccups son.
