Chloe's Sharing Day at School

Chloe absolutely loves school and her teachers. Today was a special day, because I got to volunteer and it was Chloe's sharing day! So I made sure I took my camera!! Chloe picked her favorite thing(s) in this entire world to share- her piggies. Chloe loves her two piggies. She takes them everywhere with her and falls asleep with them every night. She loves them so much, she is going to be a pig for Halloween!! She also shared a book that she read to the class- "Chloe's Snowy Day."
(don't worry... I washed the piggies as soon as we came home!!)

Sharing her book, "Chloe's Snowy Day" with her class and her teacher.

Getting distracted in circle time and decided to do gymnastics... (they are suppose to sit- criss cross applesauce)

I forgot to take my camera to "large motor play-time" (fancy word for recess), but it was the first time I saw Chloe ride a tricycle by herself and not steering into a wall or the grass!! She is getting so big and I had a wonderful time with her. Meanwhile Benji was with Wyatt during this time attending an Infants and Toddler's review meeting. It's the first time we divided responsibilities up between the kids for their activities and it's the first medical thing I missed with Wyatt.... but Benji did a good job in catching me up and basically nothing has changed:) Tomorrow, Benji took off work for a special day with Chloe... they are going to see the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and lunch! and I will have a special day with Wyatt:)

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.
