Imagine

At two and half, Chloe's imagination is soaring. It is fun to watch her role play with her Little People with various voices. She role plays every where... especially when she is in the bath tub. She has a Daddy Duck, Mommy Duck, and Baby Duck and pretends that they walk to the park, swim, go on a boat, etc... Bath time is exhausting for me:)) In the pictures below Princess Chloe (don't tell her she has her princess crown backwards) is riding her horse (Wyatt's Leap Frog Toy). After she stops, she lets Prince Wyatt pet the horse. I just love when they play nicely together:) This is refreshing to watch, because moments before this Wyatt pushed Chloe and then Chloe pushed Wyatt back and I had to tell them to be nice to each other. I guess it's just the beginning!

Saturday afternoon activities:
Princess Chloe and Prince Wyatt and their horse (don't you see all that???)

Princess Chloe tells Prince Wyatt that he is allowed to pet her horse now:)

Sunday Update:
This morning Wyatt had brown stuff again in his spit up and when we vented him. We put him on Pedilyte for four hours and that seemed to do the trick. We have our x-ray and appointment with the surgeon on April 14th. The surgeon seems to think Wyatt reherniated again so we will find out on the 14th. A few weeks ago, I thought no way, but now with the brown stuff and spitting up more often it could be. If so, Wyatt would have a more complex surgery which involves using a muscle flap from his back to build a diaphragm and more surgeons in the OR. So I am really hoping these past episodes are just a symptoms from GERD... you can read about GERD on Carter's blog. Kellie describes GERD and the frustrations that go along with it very nicely.

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.
