What to do on a rainy day??

You have to make a little sunshine in your house when it is down pouring rain outside, and the forest behind your house looks like a tornado riped through it with deer walking all over it looking for stuff to eat... very depressing:((( but we can fix that inside our house! What does a green apple and my bathroom have in common? It's the color I am painting our bathroom! So today we went to Target looking for accessories... new mirror, towel holder, trash can, etc... Then I got some stuff done, and then we had some fun! Baking an apple cake from this blog and yes... I did beat the eggs for 15 minutes! We had a great time making it... everyone took part! finally for dinner on a cold evening... chili with turkey!

Helping with the cake... (making noise banging the steel bowl on the granite:)

Yum-O

Kids are ruling the house!! Both kids locked themselves in the study!! I was in the other room when I heard "Mommy!!" When I found them, they were both laughing!! I love it!!

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.
