The Game!

Last night we enjoyed watching the Ravens play as a family even though they lost:(( Wyatt is a huge football fan and claps when the fans cheer. His eyes never leave the screen. We made pizza and ate in the family room in front of the TV (which is rare)... we had a picnic!! Chloe had other plans during the game... she decided to have a tea party:)) Such a girly girl! They are already so different from each other. Wyatt is calm, patient, and is an observer. He likes to pull and grab things such as hair, earrings, his sister, etc... Chloe is a little bit more dramatic and never pulled things such as above. It's fun to watch their similarities and differences. At the end of the night, they kiss each other and say I love you and I hope that never changes:)

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.
