Go Ravens! and Happy Birthday Joe!!

Tonight we had an impromptu social at our friends Joe and Maria's house (the couple that organized the benefit). We watched the Ravens play in the playoffs and they won! What an exciting game and now they need to win one more before the Superbowl. It was Joe's birthday too so we also wanted to wish him a very happy birthday:))

Today was an exciting day for Chloe and a busy day for her Mommy.... her Mommy purchased Chloe a big girl bed, hauled it in a truck and tied the tailgate down all by herself...since it would not fit all the way while Daddy and Wyatt were home:)) Then, her Mommy took Wyatt to the mattress store to purchase the mattress just so Chloe could sleep in it tonight. Guess where Chloe is sleeping now... in her CRIB!!! Even though she was super excited for her Big Girl bed, even though her Daddy worked endless hours putting it together, and even though her Mommy drove all over kingdom come to find a bed... she wanted to sleep in her crib:)) We'll try for nap time tomorrow. I even got a step stool from Target for her to climb in it:))

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.
