Medical update

A BIG snow storm is headed our way, so we switched our doctors appt from tomorrow to today for Wyatt's RSV shot. Wyatt had a rough couple of nights with coughing, high heart rate, and a fever. Dr. G listened to him today and said he was wheezing alot, so he gave him an Albuterol neub in the office and sent us home with two prescriptions- Augmentin and Prednisolone. Wyatt on steriods is kinda fun! He becomes super baby and gets really hyper and funny. Just imagine a big snow storm and we are all stuck in the house all weekend with Wyatt on steriods.... it's going to be a fun weekend!!! Dr. G also looked in Chloe's ear because she is recovering from an ear infection and has been on Cefdinir, after Amoxcillin did not do the trick. Her ear infection is gone, but she has a pocket of fluid in her right ear. Overall, the kids are both in good spirits and I am looking forward to being snowed in, cooking chili, girls night with the neighbors, Super Bowl, and playing with the kids!!!! and shoveling lots of snow!!

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.
