Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day outside today, so during Wyatt's morning nap, Chloe, Abby, and I decided to go outside and pick flowers. Here are some pics from this morning. Then during lunch, Chloe and Wyatt wanted to play together. Chloe was handing Wyatt his rattle and he would take it, drop it, and laugh. This went on for a long time and everyone was laughing through our entire lunch. It's so refreshing to watch them play together and have fun. Then Chloe wanted to do what Wyatt was doing, so we switched and laughed all over again. Chloe and Wyatt are napping now... I guess I should be doing more constructive things rather than blogging... like planning Chloe's birthday party!!!

Lunch Time playing our game

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.
