Extra cuddles today....

Today was a rough day for my kids... when I picked Chloe up she was crying because she hurt her finger... she said it was a bee sting. She was crying so hard, she couldn't catch her breath. I just held her a lot and we cuddled on the couch together. Wyatt isn't feeling his best either. I am not sure what is up, no temp and stats are fine. He is just really uncomfortable and wants to be held and rocked. I am hoping it will pass. We are just trying to make him comfortable by putting him on pedilyte all night and then we are switching to half pedilyte and half formula. I also gave him so Motrin. So far so good, I just hope he feels good in the morning.

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.
