Inch by inch, Tyler is progressing. He had his post-op MRI which revealed no changes as compared to the preoperative hematoma (a collection of blood beneath Tyler's skull). That being said, it appears the surgery didn't affect his brain circulation and that the formation of the hematoma was due to child birth. Tyler has been learning to feed from a bottle and his bowels are working, so when he gets really fussy, we suspect he has left some treasures in his diaper.
His skin looks great and when he wakes up, he looks all around. Today, they'll teach us how to insert the nasogastric feeding tube in case Tyler pulls it out. He is still having some drug withdrawal issues.
Scott is gearing up for Tyler's arrival by pushing around a doll in the stroller, making sure the doll has his binky. If things continue to go well, Tyler could come home on Wednesday. Thanks for all your comments, prayers, cards, and support! Tyler has been a positive influence on many.

It felt so great to hold Tyler yesterday at the hospital while he cuddled in my arms and tried to drink a few drops from his bottle. It was wonderful to see our beautiful "little guy" alert and looking around - Grandma and Grandpa are so happy that you'll be coming home soon. We love you!
Our daughter, Julianne, still has Tyler's picture next to her bed and says prayers for him both with the family and I have even heard her in private. She thinks he is sooooo adorable as well as all of us. What a beautiful little boy. We hope you will be enjoying the comfort of being home with your whole family soon. But, for now get as much sleep as you can :)

He looks so good! I'm so happy for you! How scary to have to put the tube in yourselves! I'd be a bit paranoid! Good luck with that!
I can hardly wait to hold your little guy! and to see Scot share his binky! Hurray and lots of hugs and kisses! Oreos all around! love Robin
What a great picture of Tyler! He is so cute. I'm glad he'll be home soon.
We can't wait to help welcome home Tyler. You both and Grammy McMillan are doing such an amazing job at the hospital helping Tyler get strong enough to come home. Keep up the amazing work! We love you so much!
