 One year ago today…….

I was in Edmonton for the ‘regular’ ultrasound check-ups on our baby.   The fetal echo of his heart was done in the morning, and everything looked as it had the two weeks before.  The ultrasound was done in the afternoon, and they found signs of distress in the baby that were not present in the morning. 

One year ago today…….

My baby was delivered by emergency c-section.  A team of professionals from the NICU were standing by, waiting for him.  The hour and a half that I waited for them to stabilize him was horrendously nerve wracking.  The first time I got to see him, he was covered with tubes, I.V. lines, and on a breathing tube.  The nurses sat me up just enough so that I could reach into the transport isolate and touch the one bare spot I could see on his head.  Then they whisked him away to the other hospital, and  I stayed where I was for the next three days.

One year ago today……

I didn’t know or really even believe that my baby would survive.   Today, he is my proof that miracles exist. How far we’ve come Babe, how far you’ve taken us.

 

Happy 1st birthday to my little Superbaby,  Sean.

    Thanks Mum! Our day of celebration was indeed wonderful. The whole family has so much to be thankful for and we were so happy to be able to shower Sean with all sorts of fun stuff. He didn’t have cake, but he did get ice cream and what a hit that was! LOL
