Nine years ago today,,,,,,,my last baby was born , only to have been told for 3 weeks that he would not live but a few hours if that. He had so many problems , and I had the best doctors working with me trying to save my life and his,,,,,,,still the news was the same everyday.......they said he wouldnt make it and they were sorry.
They told me to pic a name out for my baby boy, so that when the time came, arrangements could be made. I came up with Robert Chance........Robert, from his two uncles and his father, and Chance, because the doctors told me ,,,,,,," there is not alot of hope here,,,,,,,,but there's always a Chance".
So my little man was born,,,,,,and to everyones surprise he LIVED!!!!!!!! He had it damn rough that is for sure,,,,,,for 2 months he was NICU,,,,,,,,,had surgeries and so many doctors visits the first three years of his life. So many times he was rushed to the ER with Chronic Respitory Distress,,,,meaning that he almost died , so many times, in and out of the hospital.
The nurses all loved him so much and for that I will always be grateful , they were good to me, calling me in the wee hours if he took a turn for the worse , while I was not at his side.
He was a fighter from the start and when they thought that he could not possible pull thru ,,,,,,,,he showed them what he was made of.........all 2 1/2 lbs of him at first , and to this day he is still my little fighter.
He has alot of PTSD, OCD, and ADD because of all that he went thru,,,,,,,,,one doctor compared it to being in a concentration camp , except a baby doesnt know why he is being hurt and that it is to save his life and make him better.
So my baby , Chance still has some of those kind of problems that he is dealing with,,,,,,,he still has Chronic Lung Diease, the asthma hits now and then,,,,,,kidney is damaged and so is one is smaller than the other...........But you would never know it ,,,,,,,,,he is hardly ever sick and loves to be a normal little boy.
Last night he was talking to Jesika's son, she came for his birthday party and he was telling him all about Jesus, and how he died for our sins and how wonderful he is.
Chance is my child that is the most spiritual and leaving the borg was very hard for him,,,,,,,,,but the way he spoke last nite, there was no mention of Jehovah or the New World,,,,,,,just of Jesus and the good things that He is all about. I dont know exactly what I believe , but I encourage him to not have fear and that Whoever is above us loves him.
He makes me proud and I am so happy to be able to celebrate the day of his birth, this year is the second time..........here is a pic of him when he was born and one of him now.
Happy Birthday Chance,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Love ya, From all your family,,,,,,,
