ER Update #2

I just heard from Benji that they are keeping Wyatt overnight for observation to just make sure he is ok. Benji is going to stay overnight with him and I will be going tomorrow morning. My parent's are going to come pick up Chloe. Wyatt sleeps most of the night... so hopefully he won't even know he is in the hospital!! I feel so good that they are keeping him overnight because I would be so nervous at home knowing that he could destat or have a high heart rate... especially since we have no nursing this week. Plus he will be on IV fluids in the hospital. Benji is super tired since he stayed up with him last night and now tonight (I did the two nights before that:) He is a good Daddy:) Please keep saying prayers that this virus will pass quickly. Thank you.

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.
