Chloe's "Unbirthday"

Chloe celebrated her unbirthday today at preschool, since her birthday is in August. The theme was farm animals, so we made pig cupcakes! It was a lot of fun and a very memorable. Her teachers did a great job making it so special! It brought back memories of making elmo cupcakes when she turned two- http://wyattjameskoger.blogspot.com/2008/08/shh-dont-tell-chloe.html . After preschool, Wyatt went to KKI for PT. Wyatt is making great progress!

Doesn't Wyatt look like he should be on Sesame Street??

Chloe didn't know I was watching her pretending to curl and blow dry her hair.

Counting activity for the birthday girl!

When the kids arrive, they first read a book

Wyatt looks like he is crying, but stopped and started to enjoy walking and running. Running on the treadmill is his favorite and Miss Lacy does a wonderful job with him.

Benji stayed up late to make these cupcakes so that they would be ready for Chloe in the morning:)) Pigs are Chloe's favorite animal. She sleeps with two pigs a night (they are stuffed-not real) and she was a pig for halloween!

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.
