Having a sleep over at Hopkins....

We are going to be admitted probably to the sixth floor. Everything came back negative- RSV, urine, flu... they are now sending blood cultures. No one knows what it could be??? He is going to get a high dose of antibiotics once a day by a shot. The doctor said that the antibiotics will cover conditions such as meningitis which I assume we will explore once we are admitted. He just got another dose of Motrin because his fever is returning, he is soundly sleeping and now we are just waiting to be admitted and then we will wait for a bed... I anticipate I won't get much sleep... good thing I brought my jammies and tooth brush. Benji is coming tomorrow morning with Chloe and if all goes as planned, Benji will hang out with Wyatt while Chloe has a special day going to see the REAL Dora at the Hippodrome!!! I can't wait for the day that we can bring both kids... for now this is our normal:))

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.
