About Adison

Adison was born Jan.26,2009. I was only 36 weeks my blood pressure was up and had been for a few weeks, this concerned the Dr. because I lost a kidney in 2001 after Alissa was born. The Dr. did some test and thought it would be safe to deliver her early. My c-section was set for early monday morning, I had a bad feeling but chalked it up to being nervous about surgery. We went in it was very calm not like my other 3 c-sections, when she came out they held her up, she wes so small, (to small, thats all I rember thinking) they brought her over for a quick kiss and said, "your baby is having trouble breathing, we need to take her to the NICU." Off she went her and my husband, now I am all alone, a million thought racing through my head. A good 45 min. go by still no word. "will someone please fine out whats going on with my baby I scream." Then my husband comes back I have never been so happy and so scared to see anyone in my life. He says she's doing o.k. she just needs to stay on oxygen to help her breath for a while, and I can go see her as soon as I get feeling back in my legs. That night I saw her and held her for the first time she was beauitful. She would need to stay over night to be safe, they would bring her to me in the morning. The next morning they brought her to me we were happy and ready to go home, then my baby turned blue. I called for the nurse she, took her away agin, and I felt as if someone had ripped my heart from my chest. After hours passed they called us to come down to the NICU and there she was covered with wires, and alarms, and oxygen, they didn't even prepare us, as if they could, the NICU Dr. said "look at you up walking around" were else would I be? He said," your baby has a pneumothorax(hole in her lung) she may need surgery to close it, we will know more with every hour that passes" So I prayed harder than I've ever prayed before, I begged God to make my baby well. The next day the x-ray showed that the pneumo had not grown and the Dr. hopped that with time and oxygen it would heal it's self. everyday she got a little better and by day 4 I got to hold her agin, I never wanted to let go, I sat for 4 hours stright and just held her and sang to her, untill the nurse said she had to go back in her incubator. On day 5 the Dr. told us the hole had closed, she could go home in 2 days when she was weined off oxygen. Now the Dr. says she was lucky, all she need was oxygen to heal her, I say she had some help from my God, and I thank him every day for the grace he has shown us.
