Best Friends

Lily and Chloe when they were REALLY Young!

Nanny and Chloe... we miss you Nanny!

Have to include a picture of Wyatt:))

Since I am still trying to locate my camera battery, I am posting older pictures. Here are some pictures I came across of BFF's- Lily and Chloe. They are growing up together and one day will have sleepovers, sporting events together, and double dating... but until then, we will enjoy those sweet little innocent moments together:)) Nanny is coming into town today too!!! So we wanted to include her and Wyatt of course in the pics!

Wyatt is becoming so attached to us- he cries when I walk away from him and when the therapists from the Infants and Toddlers Program come to work with him, he does not enjoy it at all. It's because they only come every other week for OT and PT. I am working on trying to get them to come more often. Our review meeting is next week. Last night, I was reading books to Wyatt and Chloe and they were both on my lap. Wyatt started kicking Chloe and Chloe yelled out "Stop Wyatt!!" in a whiney voice. I just love having normal problems!! Who would ever welcome brother- sister bickering but me:)))

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.
