Quiet Weekend

It's been a quiet weekend. We play all day and go for a walk and play outside either before dinner or after dinner. As you can tell, my sister is back in America because when I clicked on Wyatt's blog this evening, it's organized a little differently!! She is much more tech savy than I am! She also posted new pictures on her blog of her travels in Southeast Asia- click here- http://wanderlustinjapan.blogspot.com/

Wyatt had a rough night, he did not sleep well because he is either in pain or is catching a cold. He developed a cough (that's a little wet and worries me) and is sneezing. We had to increase his oxygen level to 1/2 liter to keep his stats in the high 90's. A little cold for someone, can be something major for Wyatt. I always fear that he will have Pneumonia. But I am being cautious about it. If it continues, we will call the doctor tomorrow. We also have an appointment with our surgeon on Wednesday too. Wyatt just seemed uncomfortable today, but when he was comfortable, he was very happy... especially during our walk. Please keep him in your prayers that he will be healthy and just thrive after this past surgery.... no more surgeries!!!

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.
