My baby girl is becoming a Big girl:(

Today after Tumble Kicks, I treated Chloe to Chick Fil A. After lunch I decided to take her into the indoor playground. Usually she just plays on the floor level, but I looked away for one minute and when I turned back around, I discovered her at the top!!!! I was a nervous wreck, because the last thing I wanted to do is climb in the little tunnels to find her, but she did just fine. She explored all the little tunnels and didn't mind the bigger kids up there either. In fact, I had to bribe her with a treat to get down. She got down just fine and didn't want to leave.... but I had grocery shopping to get done:)) I am so proud of her!

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.
