Snow Day Pics

Here are some more pictures of the snowday last Monday. My "add a picture" feature was not working on my blog, but now it is, so I thought I add all the photos from the past week. Chloe took her little pink shovel outside to help her Daddy shovel our driveway.

CDH News-

Also, if you follow Jack Jensen's blog, it is now private. Jack's mom Vicki is happy to share his blog with you if you still like to continue to follow Jack. I received a few inquires about how to get access. Just e-mail me at gbkoger@yahoo.com saying that you would like access and I will forward the information to Vicki.

Continue to pray for Addison who was placed on ECMO and is currently trailing off.

Hopkins contacted me and would like to do a story on Wyatt. I suggested they do a story on Wyatt, Jack, and Andrew and our new CDH support group. They seemed very interested in it.... so look for a Hopkins publication of our little fighters and new group in the near future!!!

Can you find Chloe in this pic? She is trying to shovel with her little pink shovel... she has a lot to do!

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.
