Chloe called Wyatt and this is what happened....

I GOT MY BOY BACK!!!! When I arrived at the hospital this morning, Wyatt was in Benji's arms and seemed like he was in a little pain. He had a rough night and had to get oxycodine at 4am. The drug really makes him feel out of it. So after I arrived and Wyatt seemed like he was in pain, we decided to give him Tylenol. After 15 minutes, if it wasn't working then we would go to the more powerful stuff. Well, it worked and Wyatt was back to his old self. He was really stinky and had blood on him from surgery, so I gave him a bath and put on his favorite Elmo shirt. During his bath, I took him off his oxygen and guess what?????????? He continued to stat 99 and 100 percent, occasionally going to 98 percent!!!!!!!! Then Chloe called and they talked for a little while as you can see below. After that conversation, Wyatt was a new baby!! He is clean, happy, and throwing things out of his crib. He seems back to his old boyish self. It's about 1:45, so I put him down for his regular nap (trying to keep him on schedule) and he fell right to sleep. I put his O2 back on since his stats drop usually while he is sleeping. His lungs sound a little wet, so the doctor ordered a dose of lasik to dry them out. Other than that, I think we are ready to go H________ (I don't want to say it, or I may jinx myself!!)

It's only Sunday, three days after the longest surgery he has ever had and he looks like this:)) Let's celebrate!!!!!!!!! He is such a fighter and I am so proud of him.

I GOT MY BOY BACK!!!!

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.
