Hi everyone! Wanted to share a quick update on Wilder. We have been home a little over a month now and I am headed back to work in 2 short weeks on April 1st 😓. I think NICU moms should get a full 12 weeks after their little ones are home! We have the best babysitters lined up through the summer and I know he will do great. Wilder is growing like a weed and I’m starting to pack away some newborn clothes….finally 😅.
He was officially cleared by Ophthalmology last week so we are in the clear as far as his eyesight for now! In June he has his NICU follow up visit where he will see a neonatologist, pediatric neurologist, physical therapist, and a pediatrician to ensure he is growing and developing as expected considering his very early arrival. After that, we should be able to see his primary care provider on a normal schedule .
About a week after he was home I noticed he had a hernia in each groin. Unfortunately, kids don’t outgrow those types of hernias so he has to have these repaired and surgery is tomorrow. ☹️ We would appreciate a few prayers that things go smoothly and we can be done with the hospital life forever and ever!
Thanks again for all your love and support this year!
❤️ Wilder’s Mom
