Well hello everyone!  Thank you all for coming to my new site, to everyone who has just joined me here, and to those who have been following me for a long time over on Caring Bridge!  As I mentioned on my home page, we will still continue to keep Caring Bridge up to date as well, for everyone who goes there and leaves us messages!  We love to read them, and thank everyone who has been leaving them for us!    You can also leave us messages here.  The reason we decided to come here as well, is that on caring Bridge you are very limited to what you can do... we couldn't post very many pictures of me (and who doesn't want to see LOTS of pictures of handsome little me!?) and we were limited as to how much we could type as well.  We couldn't post videos, or music, or have a neat section like we could here with my fun facts and growth chart.    We also, were never able to type out my whole story, for that reason, as it was just too long, and so that is something that we are hoping to do here  as well, for those who may not have been here since the beginning, that is on the list of things to do for this site!  We hope that everyone enjoys our new site, as well as Caring Bridge!

As most of you know, I am busy fighting an infection, so that I can go for surgery again.  This was not the original plan, the original plan was to do this surgery in November, but I am not growing, and my  heart is working way too hard, so we need to get it done now.    The Dr told Mummy today that there plan is to do it two weeks from tomorrow, and that I am tentatively scheduled for that day.  They say tentatively, because I am on my own schedule!  they also have to make sure the infection is cleared first, and Dr VanArdsell, my surgeon, is going away for a few days... If need be he could do it before he left, but we would rather he wait untill he gets back.   SO, that date is the 9th of April... .just 18 days before my 1st birthday!   Hopefully this will be a great birthday present in that I will be feeling much better afterwards, and doing better!  I can't wait to play with my birthday cake!    In this surgery, they will be giving me an artificial Pulmonary Artery, and unifocallizing the collaterals to it. They will also be removing my soroma. This is a big surgery for me.  So, in the meantime, I am busy here, trying to gain a bit of weight before surgery.  

Did you all see my pictures in the March folder?  Well, I just had my very first Easter of course, and I got to play with my Easter cake!  I am not allowed to eat it of course, but I sure had fun playing with it, and then got to eat some chocolate pudding, which I think might be half as good as cake!?  Grandpa and Grandma brought it for Mummy and me, as well as some other  food that Mummy ate, and seemed to like.. but, between us, I don't think that stuff looked nearly as good as the cake!   I also got a crazy musical Easter bunny, which is driving my Mummy insane, because I like it alot, and want it on all the time!   You can also see in my pictures that I have just learned to make a very funny face!  I bite my bottom lip and puff out my cheeks ,and now that I know how to do it, I do it alot!  I look pretty cute of course!   I am trying to play peek a boo also, and that is very cute.  I put something in front of my face, and then when I move it away, I give a big smile!  I am so cute!

I had an ultrasound on my PICC line today, as my arm was swollen the other day and really bothering me.  It went down, and isn't bothering me anymore, but they wanted to check it, so we are waiting for the results on that still now.  I will be on antibiotics until the 28th they decided today, and they took my off the antifungal today.  We are really hoping that when I come off the antibiotics  I will be stable and doing well, and I will then be allowed a pass for a day or two to get out of here before my surgery, so that Mummy and I can have some fun out of here for a day or two!  That would be great!  Who knows what we will do, just that we can be out of here!    Then I need to come back for surgery, get it over with, adn get movin on growing big and strong, and having a big 1st birthday party!!

That is all for now, I will be back again soon!

Love,
Wyatt xo
