Happy 4 month birthday Wyatt

Wow! I can't believe how much my little guy has grown and what he has endured in the past 4 months. Today was a little different than a normal Saturday. My mom stayed with Wyatt during the day while we took Chloe to a birthday party. I enjoyed giving Chloe that extra attention and spending time with her. Sometimes I think to myself that she is growing up before my eyes and I can't forget about that!! We went to the hospital around 5pm to spend time with Wyatt. Wyatt had a good day... he is still on oxygen. He also got a new ng tube, therefore, he started spitting up dried up blood. The doctor on call took away his feeds and started IV fluids. Otherwise he is fine. Happy Birthday Wyatt.... You have accomplished so much!

Hurdles that I faced and achieved!

After birth, I was placed on ECMO at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 13 days. On day 13, I had a surgery to repair my hernia and was removed from ECMO, but my organs would not fit in my abdomen. I had a silo for a week and then surgery to place the organs back in the abdomen. Then, part of my intestines re-herniated into my chest cavity two months later and I had another surgery to repair that. After my first surgery, I experienced an intraventricular hemorrhage in my brain and at four months old I received a VP shunt. After I was extubated, I learned that I have right vocal cord paralysis. Then I had g-tube surgery and after I finally got to go home after 5 longs months at Johns Hopkins and Mt. Washington Hospital! Only for a few weeks, though. In mid-April my intestines reherniated again and sent me into surgery. I came home, and had a long run before my THIRD reherniation in the beginning of September on Labor Day weekend in 2008. Then I was hospitalized for twice during the winter 2009 for two respiratory infections. Well, I almost lasted a year until my next surgery! Just this past June, in 2009, I had surgery to wrap my stomach around the esophagus, a nissen. This has helped with my reflux and my hiatal hernia. I will be 2 in October, I love scooting around but refuse to stand up and walk. I am a little miracle and thank God, my doctors, my nurses, family, and friends for my strength, my fight and a happy life.
