This entry really spoke to me. My son experienced the same things at birth as Emily did, the previous commenter. He stopped breathing and had seizures. He was only in the NICU for a week, though. He was on phenobarbital for 9 months, though. He also had an MRI, and a spinal tap. He does not have cerebral palsy, but now that he is older we believe he is autistic, though we haven't been able to get him properly diagnosed yet. He is in ABA therapy and we are trying to get started on speech therapy, though it's so expensive and not covered by our insurance. You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with the world and helping moms of special needs children feel that their feelings are shared.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395370242575951913.post-65010223980602870692012-11-17T15:54:32.566-05:002012-11-17T15:54:32.566-05:00I completely understand what you are saying. When...I completely understand what you are saying. When I was pregnant with Emily I was just so thrilled to finally be having a baby that I never ever thought about all the things that could happen. I had no reason to doubt that I would have a healthy baby and take him/her home after a few days at the hospital. Then she was born and she wasn't breathing. And then she started having seizures and spent 6 weeks in the NICU before we could take our baby home. We were completely blindsided and we are forever changed by that experience. I too, believe it is for the best. God certainly was not surprised by Emily's diagnosis - He has a plan for her and knows that she has been created exactly as He intended. It was not something that I would have ever asked for, but the joy that has come along the way is beyond anything I could have imagined. We have all grown through this experience. We have learned things that we would not have learned any other way. God is so amazing - He definitely knows what He is doing!Wherever HE Leads We'll Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042627234253638468noreply@blogger.com
