What to make from our vegetable goody bag???

Danielle and Wyatt

Danielle and Chloe

Wyatt loves playing the piano... here he is naming the letters on it....

Sweet Potato pie

Tomatoes to make fried green tomatoes...

Hot pepper infused vinegar

This evening I took Chloe and Wyatt to my parent's house and Chloe will be spending the night so that she can spend the day with pop-pop while I go to work. Benji decided to stay at home to get some things done... he vacuumed, moped the floors and made tasty things from our surprise vegetable goody bag from the farmer's market... like sweet potato pie, hot-pepper infused vinegar, and fried green tomatoes. His grandmother flies in from Texas tomorrow to meet Chloe and Wyatt for the first time, so we want to have tasty things for her!!

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.
