Wyatt's Mommy has the flu:((

Well Wyatt's Mommy has the flu! It's the sickest I have been in a long time... 101 temp, chills, achy, headaches... I feel like a wet noodle. Benji has been doing EVERYTHING around the house, cleaning, taking care of the kids, and taking care of me. It's the true meaning of marriage because I know he is so tired of staying up late, waking up early, plus doing everything when we usually split it 50/50. So this is a public thank you to my hubby:)) I love you!!! Please say BIG prayers that Wyatt does not get what I have. I have been wearing a mask and washing my hands but I know the germs are still floating around the house. I went to the doctor today and got some meds so hopefully in the next day or two, I will start feeling better. Enough about me!! Wyatt has been saying "mommy" more often... especially when he wants something. He is also holding his own cookie (teething biscuit) and putting it in his mouth and licking it. This is HUGE that he is choosing to do this by himself. I think he heard that he has his "eating" check up with Dr. LG next Wednesday. I am so proud of my little guy.

Amber said...: Gina I hope you feel better soon! I will be praying that this nasty flu skips Wyatt and the rest of your family.

That is so cool that Wyatt is saying mommy! Lately Owian is all about saying "dadada"

Thank you for all your comments and keeping our little warrior in your prayers.

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.
