Halloween Fun!

Here is just a few pictures, more to come later of our Halloween. It's the first time ever we spent Halloween as a family. Wyatt was in the hospital one year, my sister got married in Mexico last year, and finally this year, we are together! We started early today by carving pumpkins with Aunt Danielle and a visit from my Mom and Grandmom. Then Benji's parent's came over and I made a big pot of chili for everyone! Trick or Treating is so much fun in our neighborhood. It's like a huge party on the street. Chloe had a great time trick or treating for the first time... then after the kiddies went to bed, I went to the coolest gig ever... Benji's band played at a barn party. Each member of the band dressed up as one of the Adam's family. Benji was Cousin It. They sounded the best ever and the stage was so cool... full of cobwebs on a loft. It's late so I will share more later:) Good night and Happy Halloween!

Coolest Gig ever... Benji's Band as the Adam's Family!

It's Super Why flying through the air!!!

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.
