Wyatt's playdate with Emma

Wyatt has a new girlfriend... Emma!!!

My friend Stacy's baby was admitted to Hopkins on the same floor as Wyatt over the weekend. They were just a few rooms away. So Emma came by to visit Wyatt for a play date on Sunday. They checked each other out for a little bit and enjoyed each other's company. Wyatt is such a flirt!! We hope Emma will come home soon!

Also, Wyatt had a head CT scan on Sunday and the results show that Wyatt's third ventricle decreased in size and it's normal now. For some reason, the third ventricle is more important than the other two. The other two are average too!! This is the FIRST CT scan that showed a decrease, which means the shunt is working!!! The past CT scans always showed a slight dilation of the ventricles. Thank you God!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
