Fancy Nancy

Chloe goes to daycare with her best friends and today they had a Fancy Nancy party. This week, they focused on learning about manners and celebrated their good manners by dressing really pretty and having a tea party. The kids loved it!

Stay tuned for tomorrow.... it's Abby's (our dog) birthday party! Shh... don't tell her, but I invited her best friend Shadow to surprise her!! Abby was the center of our attention until Chloe and Wyatt came along. We love her very much, but she wasn't the only child anymore... so tomorrow Abby turns eight and it's her special day! She is looking forward to her yummy treat and all the attention she will be getting!

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.
