Results

Got to love the docs at Hopkins. Two weeks ago the GI doc called late on a Friday night and tonight the pulmonary doc called to give the results to the sleep study. They are so personable and friendly and you think Wyatt is their only patient. When the oxygen was turned off, Wyatt destated to the high 80's, low 90's. On 1/8th liter, Wyatt destated occasionally. On 1/4th and 1/2th he was normal which is 92% or above. So it was concluded that Wyatt needs oxygen at night and there may be some kind of obstruction. We were referrred to an ENT doctor who needs to determine if there is an obstruction that is blocking his airway at night in a laying down position. He also snored at night, which I think he inherited from his mother:) The pulomonary doctor said it may be his adnoids or tonsils.... but the ENT will determine it. Not the greatest news, but it's stuff that we already knew... Wyatt still needs oxygen and monitoring at night.

Tomorrow Wyatt is invited to a firehouse birthday party and on Sunday, a girls only brunch!!!

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.
