Babies in the pool
camera snaps their pictures
yielding cute results.
Washing baby’s hair
Liliana shares her toys
unexpectedly.
Now I get lazy.
Liliana helps
Damien to splash his hand.
He is unamused.
Do not sit babies
on your lap with a towel
their diaper soaks through.
Now in vintage flavor:
The end.
Liliana was diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) when I was pregnant with her at 15 weeks. A hole in the left side of her diaphragm allowed her stomach, spleen, and some of her intestines to move up into her chest, which left little room for her lungs to grow.
She was born at 36 weeks gestation and went into surgery 2 days later to have the CDH repaired. The surgery was a success and Liliana was able to breathe on her own after a week on the ventilator. She came home after 23 days in the hospital.
She is now dealing with reflux (GER) and weight gain issues, but we're working everyday to improve her health and make her happy.
