Breaking Out!!

Tonight Wyatt’s Aunt Danielle, his Pop Pop, and cousins came to visit. We played in the Teen Room and sat outside. A very kind employee of a closed coffee shop gave us free dessert. Wyatt’s Pop Pop will be getting back surgery at the same hospital on Thursday so they will get to hang out more together! Wyatt now has 19 lbs pulling on him and he is definitely feeling it. The goal is around 30. Otherwise, his appetite has increased and he appears a little taller. He also shared that he is enjoying getting all the texts and well wishes. It’s one of the highlights of his day❤️❤️❤️. Thanks everyone!!

Let’s get out of here 😂😂

Stop taking pics!!

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.
