321 Lights, Camera, Action! 🎥

Today was a pretty exciting surprise! Wyatt was asked to participate in a photo shoot for Hopkins Media, brochures, PR…Shockingly, Wyatt agreed! It was fun! They played Greenday and other songs Wyatt likes as they took photos playing air hockey. I saw a few smiles and in the end he said it was fun! They are going to send me the professional photos soon.

Also, Thursdays are the best here! They provided the parents free lunch which was Panera and 15 min massages. It was heavenly! So far Wyatt has 23 pounds pulling up his spine/ head. I learned today that it could go up to 40 lbs.

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.
