I can't believe my miracle baby is 13!!! He is such an amazing kid!! I think back on when I woke up the morning after he was born and called for my baby to be brought to me and the nurse said that the doctor would be down to see me. As I sat in my hospital room being told that my newborn baby had stopped breathing several times in the night and was having seizures and that he had been admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit I couldn't wrap my mind around what was being told to me. As soon as they would let me I went to see him and he looked so perfect I couldn't fathom anything being wrong with him. I was told they were going to life flight him to Primary Children's in Salt Lake, but we had to wait for a huge winter storm to pass, because they couldn't fly in the storm. Now I don't have alot of memory of what all went on, I had just had a c-section and was pretty drugged up, but I do remeber when my Mom and Dad got there and how my Dad gave him a blessing and I wasn't scared. Nervous about sending my baby on a plane by himself, but not scared. My parents were going to be there to meet him. They left before they took him, so they could be there and we stayed with Steven until they took him to the airport. After a couple of days at Primary's, the doctors pulled me and his dad into a room to discuss his diagnosis. At that time we were told that he had suffered a stroke sometime in the third trimester and that they couldn't tell us exactly what to expect. I also don't remember this full converstation. I think I was at a point where I couldn't digest anymore. I do recall them telling me that only time would tell how much he was affected by it. We took him home and I tried not to treat him different and I hope we have done everything for him to make his life the best it can be!! He still amazes me everyday!!! I love this Young Man and so does everybody that comes into contact with him. He seldom complains and is very determined to do all that he can!! I hope he will understand what a joy he is to me and his family!!! WE LOVE YOU STEVEN!!!!
