It was Heaven

"
     "911, what's your emergency?" "My wife is seizing on the floor in the bathroom and she's 9 months pregnant!" "We'll send an ambulance right away Sir, what is your addr.......and he was in shock.  His wife of 18 months lying on the floor and he was helpless to do anything for her.  There was blood coming out of her mouth and he was trying to scoop it back in, he was terrified. The ambulance came and her vitals were low and they were very concerned as she kept seizing over and over.  "The baby?" he asked.  "Don't know" they said as they loaded her up in the ambulance and headed for the closest hospital.
      They got to the hospital and got her to an operating room and got his consent for emergency C-section.  They told him she was seizing on the table and it took 5 people to hold her down to cut the baby out.  It was a girl.  Her apgar test was low and they were concerned about her lungs, she was low birth weight, was she a full term baby?  Send her to sonogram when she gets stable.  The Dr. came out the door to the waiting room and looked as white as a ghost and the father approached him and said "What was it?" The Dr. said " I don't know" and mosied back into the operating room and a nurse came out and said the baby was a girl, 5lb.4.5oz.  They were both being looked after right now.
      They took me to a room and made it dark so the possibility of having another seizure would be less because I wasn't out of the woods yet.  They didn't know for a few days if I would live or die and they kept the baby in the hospital with me and when I came out of the coma like state I was in I saw her for the first time.  She was the most beautiful baby God ever created, perfect little shaped head, great coloring, tiny fingers and toes and had her little eyes open and looking right at her Mommy.  The world was the most amazing place to be in at the moment and for years to come all because of her presence in the world with me.
       We got to go home together 22 days after her birth and we went to Nana's house for another 11 days because I was so weak.  I lost my short term memory and had a right sided weakness from a stroke.  A blood vessel had burst in my head.  I needed so much help with her.  I didn't remember when she was fed last.  My brother made a chart and I forgot about the chart to write it down on.  I couldn't watch T.V. because I would forget what I was watching right in behind of what I was watching, so it didn't make sense.  The only thing that made sense was her.  She was so amazing.  I was in awe and stared at her for months on end and just couldn't get over her.  She was my motivation for getting well.  The Dr.'s said that I would be in a wheelchair and my brain would never heal to capacity again, but I proved them wrong ( for her ).  My beautiful baby was going to have the best Mommy possible. I was so in love I thought my heart was going to burst.
      I watched this tiny one evolve right in front of my face, sitting up, crawling, walking and saying "Mama."  I absolutely adored her.  How could I be so blessed.  I held her and rocked her and sang to her and dressed her over and over.  She was a live doll baby.  I was so happy.  I kept a baby book about events and things.  She was the best contribution of my entire life and I knew it.  I never ever wanted her to know the tramatic experience that she came into the world in, I just wanted her to think it was an enchanting time because she was a princess and not know what happened to me so she wouldn't feel any kind of way about it.  She didn't find out until her teens and she handled it pretty well.  I just down played it and she was fine.
      I went to therapy for 10 years learning how to cope with my past life and the shortness of temper from the stroke and learned how to be the best mother I could. Yep that child was my baby all through her life and still is and she's so so precious.
      I will always remember her that way, you see tragically she was murdered.  God let me have my Angel on earth for 28 years though and she had an Angel of her own, Serenity.
