A Very Rainy Friday....

Chloe had a special day with her Daddy today. He took the day off and took her to see Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs, lunch, and a trip to the bookstore to pick out a book. I got to paint our bathroom:) It's cold and rainy here... Here are some random pictures

Practicing to stand, as you can tell, Chloe is taller and Wyatt is heavier.

Wyatt's therapy with his nurse Susan.... it's the only time and way he will stand for us!! However, he is sitting on his feet more, going into the crawling position more, and sits criss cross applesauce then, props up on his knees. I am being hopeful that standing is just around the corner!

We just had a family dinner for Wyatt's birthday, but I still wanted to make invitations because it's fun... so here is a picture of it!

My frig is getting overfilled of crafts, so I made a craft wall today and hung them up on the wall.

Yummy breakfast made by Chloe and her Daddy... chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, and a hot latte!

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.
