Busy Saturday!

Yesterday was so busy that we forgot to go to Molly's first birthday party and we feel really bad!! It was going to be Wyatt's first birthday party that he would attend. My sister and mom came over to help plant our flower beds. It was pouring down raining, but we planted them in the pouring down rain and it was fun!!! Then Joe, Maria, and their kids, Grace and Dan brought over dinner and we had a fun night just hanging out! Wyatt also rolled all the way over to his stomach and he did not like it!! But we captured it on camera! Chloe enjoyed playing in the rain and playing with Grace and Dan. It was a fun day, but we feel so bad for missing the party:((((

We are looking forward to Wednesday! Wyatt will have his first official playdate and dinner with Jack (his CDH buddy from Hopkins) AND their surgeons are going to join us!! How exciting! Wyatt is over the moon!! (he is just rolling around everywhere in excitment!)

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.
