This View❤️

Last night to cap off a semi-stressful day, I just soaked in this beautiful view. It was peaceful and hopefully a sign of good things to come… stay tuned. This morning he had three surgical teams visit for rounds, hospital pediatricians visit, who have been wonderful in helping to look at the whole child, like ordering extra fluids, breathing treatments and numbing cream. He had a brain MRI and X-ray, OT, PT, and RT. All scans are normal and made progress in therapies. Good things to come!!!! Stay tuned🎉🎉🎉🎉 🤞

Happy 7th Adopt-a-versey Lola Grace 🐶 We rescued Lola this day 7 years ago!

This day in 2021 was our first day in St. Pete for Wyatt’s reherniation surgery with Dr. Kay’s and Dr. Chandler. We made the most of our time there!

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.
