Wyatt's Cool Toys

This is my "new uniform" in our house... I dislike it very much... It reminds me of what we had to wear at Mt. Washington.

I thought for sure that I would be feeling better today... but I woke up with 102 temp and with out Tylenol and Motrin, I would not be functioning. I am so mad at this flu!!! I even got the flu shot a few weeks ago and we have Purell in every room in our house. Thank goodness for good people around me. Susan played with Wyatt all day long and Chloe went to Gabby's house so that I could rest.

My friend Laura is one of the most generous people on the face of this Earth. I have her to thank for Chloe and Wyatt's love for books since most of the classics we have are from her. She also let us borrow the toy that Wyatt has in this picture. His Physical Therapist, Patty gave Wyatt this cool little chair and we sit Wyatt in the chair while he plays with Laura's toy. He has a great time!
Please pray for Baby Owain. He reherniated again and is having surgery today. Amber is mom is so sweet and also a big supporter of Wyatt.

Paula said...: My Wyatt loves his Learning Leap Frog Table. I should have been smart enough to sit him at a chair. We got it when he was nine months old and since he hated sitting up at the time (and was not great at it) he always wanted to stand and play so we had to keep him standing.

I hope you feel better soon.; November 18, 2008 at 11:49 PM

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.
