Chloe Day Today!

Today Chloe and I spent the day together. First we took a walk through the neighborhood. Then we visited Daddy at work, then we went to the petting zoo at Baughers. We were the only people there and it was so nice! Chloe saw a cow, emu, goats, donkeys, pigs, kittens, chickens, and peacocks. I think her favorite were the chickens. Then we had lunch at McDonalds and Chloe got to play on the playground. We came home, and I think we wore her out, because she slept for 3 hours which she never sleeps that long. Later in the evening she went with Daddy to the grocery store.

I also had fun playing with Wyatt in between our activities with Chloe. Wyatt also had a physical therapy session today and had some tummy time, which he did not like and practiced sitting up.

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.
