Chloe's First (major) Boo Boo...

We were taking our family walk last night and now that Chloe is "too big" for the stroller, she insists on walking... or running. She was running down the side walk and feel on her face. I had Wyatt, so Benji quickly picked her up and held her the entire way home. She has a scrap on her eye and knee.... poor Chloe:((

Wyatt made his first court appearance today... I had to go to traffic court for a 43 mph ticket in a 25 mph zone... I was hoping not to pay my $90.00 ticket... well it so happens that I ended up paying $90.00 plus court fees... $25.00... it was more than the actual ticket!!!!!!!!!!!! Wyatt was so sweet and good during the experience and the judge did not feel sorry for me at all:((((( maybe next time I'll bring Chloe too:))) It's just not my year for traffic violations!

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.
