Three shots today:((

Wyatt had his RSV shot, it takes two shots because of his weight and his second flu booster today. He was great and tolerated it so well. He was in a great mood during the visit and only cried for his shots. The verdict is in... it looks like Wyatt and Chloe both have just a plain old common cold! Dr. G, his peditrician advised against antibiotics or any cold medicine and recommended that it just run it's course. Wyatt and Chloe both had their ears checked and their were no infections. I must say that Wyatt is a better patient than Chloe! Big news for Chloe tonight... when I was changing her into her pj's tonight upstairs she said, "Mommy, I want to pee pee in the potty." So we ran down stairs and she did it!! It was the biggest pee pee I ever seen and she was so proud of herself. So we will see how often it will occur. I am not pushing it and will let her do it whenever she like.

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.
