Chloe's first real hair cut

My first baby... Chloe will soon be going to school. (pre-school). She meets her teacher on Thursday and starts next Tuesday. To get ready for school, she got her hair cut today. I have always trimmed her hair and I am just as good at cutting hair as I am in singing (I am not good at both). Since Chloe has super straight hair, you can really see when it's cut crooked. So my neighbor is a hair dresser at a hair salon and she even built a hair salon in her basement. Chloe and I went over her house tonight for Chloe's first real hair cut. Chloe was great, except she had tons of knots in her hair and did not especially like when they were combed out. Today was a big day for her...hair cut and doctor's appt... what a big girl she is becoming. By the way, today during our evening walk, she said to me..."Mom, did you know that a STOP sign is an octagon?"

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.
