This girl inspires me...
She has had two complete lung transplants and she is only 16 years old. She has been one of my primary patients for over a year now and she is a fighter! She was there when I announced my pregnancy, watched my belly grow over time and is still here to see little miss maya in person. (though I am happy to say that she has been at home for over 3 months at this point in time). She was a previously healthy cheerleading teenager and all of a sudden found herself on ECMO and 7 days later received her first bilateral lung transplant. Talk about turning your world upside down. She has taught me so much in the short time that I have known her. This is one of the reasons why I love my job so much. The patients and the families that I get to meet and interact with are usually amazing, and this particular family has become so close to being my own family. Love her.
the rest of these pics are a hodge podge of the rest of maya's 9th month...
a much needed playdate with our favorite little man Hamish after about a month long hiatus in seeing one another. He such a good "older brother" to little miss. He loves to help her and give big rib-crushing hugs!
we have finally transitioned into the big girl stroller! She has been too petite to fit into the seat until now, so she is such a big girl on our way to the park nowadays.
one of her favorite things to do is empty out the bag I take to work. It is like she knows I have hidden treasures inside that she must find and empty each and every single one out...plus practicing and perfecting standing and squatting is pretty high on the priority list.
this girl knows how to pop the lid off with her two little bottom choppers and help herself ot her puffs.

she could probably do this all day long....
