Wyatt James Koger, A Fighter from Birth: My baby is sick:((

My baby is sick:((

Wyatt woke up at midnight, 4am and 5am and was miserable. So I rocked him in the rocking chair from 5-7ish and then called our pediatrician's cell. He said to come in the office. Wyatt cried the entire time. When the doctor looked in his ear, he said it's "red and raw" then he looked in the other ear and said the same thing. I know this may be an unusual response but I was actually happy. I said, "Yes! finally a normal 2 year old illness!!" Something that is treatable rather than emergency surgery on a Saturday night that Wyatt needed this time last year. His first "normal" illness, his first ear infection. So Azithromycin was prescribed and off we went. Wyatt slept for most of the day and still remains unhappy so I am hoping the z-pak will kick in tomorrow.

*super dude and super dog* said...: Awwwww, he looks so sad :( I hate that he's not feeling well, but I can relate to the feeling of relief that it's just a "normal" kid illness. I hope he's feeling better very soon!; August 26, 2009 at 10:58 PM

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.
