Living with CP: the early years part 4.


 
 
Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a great day today. This time around I am going to go back to the post labor events and change gears a little bit.
It turns out that after a week of laying completely still in the hospital, the doctor announced that my lungs were developed enough and he said “now let's have a baby!” The labor went fine, but with me being so early I was very weak. Everything was fine. The only thing was I was in oxygen for 8 weeks because I was so early. All this happened at Children's Medical Center in Dayton. I weighed 2 pounds at birth.  One day the doctor came in and ask my mother if they could transfer me to Good Sam hospital  (home base) because they needed the bed space. She said that was fine. One hour after I got to Good Sam my blood count dropped drastically. Nobody could get a needle in me to give me blood. They finally called Children's and my nurse from there came to Good Sam and got the needle in the first time. We think at some point during that incident is when I got Cerebral Palsy.  See what's next!
