Host our Coast

My adventurous sister applied for Host our Coast and she needs your support. There is limited time, so please spread the word. The number of views of her video on You Tube plays a part of being chosen for this awesome job. Here is the link to her video . Watch it many times and ask your friends to watch it too!!! If you want to learn more about the job, the description is here. Danielle's Blog also has more information on it and there is even a short video of Wyatt scooting on the floor!! Danielle has backpacked through 25 countries, is a published writer, keeps a cultural blog, and loves the outdoors. She is overqualified for this job and I know if chosen she would be a perfect fit!! Please view her video by May 24th and give her support!!

We still have no word about Wyatt's future surgery. We have an appointment with Dr. A on May 26th and we hope to find out what his plan is for Wyatt. His pulmonary doctor recently put him back on his diuretics to help remove the fluid from his chest and he is back on carafate to help with reflux. I think it's working!!!

Today, Chloe had her very first show and tell day and she decided to share pictures of her brother Wyatt. Gabby said that she talked all about Wyatt and showed pictures of him wearing his "pea" costume on Halloween, she even told all her friends that Wyatt was in the hospital, she showed pictures of Wyatt with his nurses, Daddy, and Mommy. It is surprising all the things a two year old can pick up. She understands much more about Wyatt than I imagined.

Stay tuned for pictures of Chloe and Mommy's adventure after the weekend!!

Go view the video now and spread the word!!

Also, Wyatt's buddy Drew is at Hopkins and needs your prayers.

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.
