A New Beginning....

As Wyatt is healing over time, his blog is turning into more of a family blog. My wonderful sister created a hard cover coffee table book of 300 pages of Wyatt's blog to preserve the memories of his success over time. It's time that I start a family blog and to focus on the non-medical memories that are created daily with Chloe, Wyatt, and our entire family.

Annoucing our new family blog- It's Raining Sunshine where I will record the daily events in my family's lives. It's purpose is so my children remember the day to day events that are often forgotton. It will be made into a book, just like Wyatt's blog.

Wyatt's blog will still be active in hopes to inspire other families that have similiar challenges of having a child with CDH. The posts on here will mainly pertain to Wyatt and his CDH challenges and celebrations.

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.
