Hi everyone,

So, last night was a bit eventful, the CT Scan showed that his Pulmonary Ateries are what is compressing the airway.  Dr VanArdsell said he needed to look at everything, and would talk to Lisa in the morning. 
They decided to take out that new line they had put in that sat in the atrium, for meds etc, as they thought it was possible that it was tickling his heart, causing all the major fluctuations in the heart rate.  So they took that out last night.  His heart rate was still all over the place though.   They wound up re muscle relaxing him again.

This morning, Dr V came and spoke to Lisa, and he decided that he needs to go back in, and lift up the Pulmonary Arteries to get them off the airway, that if they don't do that, Wyatt won't come off the ventilator.  SO, forgive me for my crappy description here, I will better describe later on when I get back from the hospital, but somehow, they are going to lift everything up (heart) with some sort of a netting or something like that, and tie it up and off the airway.  They will use a bronchoscope at the same time to watch it and see where they need to tie it to in order to relieve the pressure.  At the same time, Dr V is also going to try to put in some other type of line, seen as how they had to remove the other one, and he can't get another PICC, he will try to do this at the same time. 

They were trying to get him in either today or tomorrow, and have gotten him in today, and he will be going in anytime now.  It is supposed to take a couple hours, and they will be going in at the same spot they have gone in all 3 other times the last week and a half.  He is hopeful that this will help to solve some of the problems Wyatt has been having since surgery, and that this will help him to get of the ventilator.  He said that even if it doesn't show that it is immediately helping, they would still do it anyways, as it could help later on.

So, please, once again, lots of prayers for Wyatt, that he has the strength and will to get through this once more, and that is works how they want it to.

I also wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who writes here, on both the sites, to Wyatt and Lisa, and our whole family, it means alot, I know that we don't all know all of you, and some of you none of us know, but it means alot, and helps us all to get through some of the tough days,  and it is so good to know that there are still such caring people out there.    Wyatt is one tough little bugger, and he has a lot of people rooting for him, that is for sure.

And one last note, I just spoke to my Dad, and understand that his work, Nurse Chevrolet Cadillac, put together a surprise fundraiser BBQ today, and invited him and Karen and Lisa to surprise them.  Obviously Lisa didn't go, but anyways, it was a big surprise, and very kind of them to do that. I know my Dad was very overwhelmed by it.  So thank you very much.  OH, and wheres my burger???  HAHA  Anyways, thank you very much for that.

I am off to the hospital, so I will update when I get back, later tonight.
