Bingo, Vitamin D, and Vanderpump!

Wyatt is up to 22 pounds pulling on him 24/7. He’s handling it very well. Each day gets better and better. I think his body is getting used to it. He’s getting an X-ray today to see how his body is changing. One noticeable difference is that he has to walk on his tippy toes on just one leg. It will all go back in place after surgery. He appreciates all the texts!!!!

Hospital Bingo-Wyatt won twice 🎉🎉🎉

Pretending we are on the beach soaking in the sun ☀️

It’s Wyatt’s Pop Pop time for back surgery- same hospital

Wyatt is appeasing me- watching the Vanderpump reunion!

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.
