It's the weekend and we are home... I don't remember the last time that occurred??

Fun times with Mom-mom

After a while, this gets boring...

Wyatt is doing great. It's a quiet Saturday. We decided to decrease his oxygen from 1/2 liter to 1/4 liter and he is doing great! We also decided to increase his feeds from 30ml/hr to 31ml/hr and is handling it just fine. He has been awake playing and smiling for most of the day and finally is taking a nap!

Baby Sofia was just placed on ECMO last night so please keep her in your prayers- http://www.babymiller08.blogspot.com/

Also... it's our super nanny, Lori's last week to be with Chloe. She has been with Chloe since she was 3 month's old and has played a huge part of what Chloe is today... a lovable, well-rounded, fun-loving, little girl. We will miss Lori tremendously. Lori started a blog of her adventures out West in case you are interested- Check it out here- http://www.loriventureswest.blogspot.com/ We'll miss you Nanny!!

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.
