| Kaidynn James, 29 weeker |
Kaidynn James was born at 29 weeks. He was 3 pounds 8 ounces. Around 2 weeks old, things were looking great. Around 2 and a half weeks old they told us Kaidynn had a PDA/heart murmur. Not knowing anything about that, I was freaking out.
Being teen parents, we didn't have anyone there for us
besides our parents, but our parents weren't to happy with us either because
they only got to see Kaidynn for a short period of time during their visits. At
3 weeks and 1 day old, Kaidynn had his heart surgery.
After being on a
ventilator for 3 day, he finally got put on regular oxygen supply thru a
nosepiece. Since he was born with no sucking reflex, the doctors and nurses had
to help teach him how to suck. Finally at 4 And a half weeks old, I got to feed
my son his first bottle. He remained on oxygen until 7 and a half weeks old. He
would do so good on his oxygen one day, then the next day he wasn't doing so
well with the lower amounts of oxygen given to him so they had to up his
oxygen. I knew he was a fighter. You could see it in his eyes. After praying
and praying, he finally got the breathing thing down.
When he was 8 weeks old,
I went for my daily morning feeding and bonding time. His doctor came in, and
she told me the news I had been dreaming of hearing since I found out I was
pregnant. Your child is ready to come home. I was shocked. They told me he
would at least be there till his due date, maybe longer because of the heart
surgery. So at 8 weeks and 2 days old, I FINALLY got to put him in his carseat
and in the car and head 35 minutes back to our house. I was shocked, scared,
excited, and every other emotion possible.
Now we will be 9 months on the 26th. He has two teeth. He
sits up on his own, and we are starting to crawl! I always knew he was a
fighter. He has showed us that you can overcome any obstacle put in your way. I
still call up to the NICU at times to check and make sure the nurses are doing
okay. Over our period of time spent in the NICU, they became family to us. I
thank God everyday for my little miracle.
