My Daddy, the Rock Star!

At the end of the night, Benji was holding Chloe and she said... "Daddy, you are a rock star!" I think that made his day and was his favorite part of the entire experience!

This event was held at the drummer's house and it's in the 40th something year that his family have been hosting it. When we arrived the entire street was filled with cars. Someone said they counted about 350 people!! Benji's largest gig!! They did a great job playing. The kids had so much fun too! Chloe's best friends were there- Lily, Molly, Sophia, and CC and they had a blast dancing, climbing, hiding in the trees, etc... The party was in an awesome backyard that was perfect for kids. It was a great day!! Tomorrow- family cookout at my parents...

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.
