Snowed in at the grandparent's house!

Danielle and Duncan (the three legged dog)....

Making valentines for friends....

Coloring and pretending to drink!

No hands!!!

Playing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse games...

On Saturday my sister, hubby, Chloe and I had tickets to listen to the Baltimore Symphony play while learning about Mozart and it was all geared to little kids. Chloe loved every second of it!!! By the time we arrived at Mom-mom and Pop-pop's house, the roads were a mess and very dangerous to venture home with two precious kids, so the decesion was made to spend the weekend with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. It's good thing that I always take our diaper bag full of medical supplies and that I leave extra oxygen, food, etc... at my parent's house for emergencies like this!!! We were prepared! The weekend was full of relaxing, making valentines, playing wii, and playing on the computer.... having my sister live next door to my parents is an added bonus:))))

My talented sister... not!!! it took her all day to make this!

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.
