End of the School Year

Summer is around the corner! I love summer! It's my favorite season! The end of the school year is always very exciting, especially since I am a teacher! It's even more exciting now that Chloe gets to celebrate it too. Her very first preschool year was the BEST ever! All my goals for her were accomplished. My goal was for her to LOVE school and want to go all the time. She loved every second of it, never cried and got super excited every time it was a school day. She also made friends and became more social. Her end of the year celebration was held at a park where the kids sang songs and played on the playground together. Chloe really enjoyed playing with her friends. Thank you to my grandmother, Pop-Pop, Mom-mom, and Aunt Danielle for attending. Next year Chloe and Wyatt will be in school together!

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.
