Hello everyone!!!

Hello everyone!!! i have now entered the blogging world..for months i have watched and visited my sisters and sister-in-laws blogs.... now that i have a little more time on my hands.... i figured i should join the blogging frenzy....

The last five months of my life have been a trial... but defiantly rewarding.... i was pregnant with a little boy who decided it was time to come to this world at 27 weeks, weighing 2 lbs and 7 oz.... man was i ever scared, we spent 9 weeks in the hospital with korbyn.... the great thing about the hospital was, i really got to know him, and how to care for him before i go to bring him home.... (i didn't just have a baby like most and get to bring him home and try to figure out what a shock being a mommy full time was) i kinda was eased into the mommy thing... well when he finally came home it still was a shocker...how much work being a mommy really was....holly hanna.... korbyn is hungry every 2-3 hours.... forget sleeping!!!! (between pumping milk, feeding korbyn, trying to remember what med. he got last, and comforting my baby..) for the first month or so felt like a walking zombie...

well being at home didn't last long.... korbyn started having seizures... (due to being premature) we were back in the hospital after a few weeks... the evaluated ed korbyn for a few days and we were getting ready for discharge, when they threw a new med into the mix.... (which i had a bad feeling about to begin with) with in an hour of taking the med. he stared to wheeze, i called the nurse in and she said he looked fine... 3 hors later i had to wake him to eat, for korbyn that defiantly wasn't normal, he wakes on the dot 2-3 hours.... so i notified the nurse... feeding him was quite the chore since he was so lethargic... i told the nurse that tooo....( i felt bad that poor nurse, probably thought i was so annoying..) well the next time it was time for korbyn 2 eat i had to wake him, but this time he looked pale and was cold tot he touch... i called the nurse again... ans she said maybe it was because the ac... ( i knew it wasn't because i had 2 blankets on him and i didnt have the ac on to high) i asked if she would take his temp... so she went and got te thermometer and took a rectal (the most accurate temp..) he was cold 78 degrees... she rushed out and got warm blankets and called the doc... i noticed his ribs were being sucked in every time he would take a breath and his head was bobbing around with the breaths... i know something was really wrong... i called the nurse again.. right when she walked in, korbyn stopped breathing and they had to bag him to resuscitate him... he still wasn't responding... i was so scarred... i felt so helpless & felt as if i should of asked for a doctor sooner... korbyns system shut down... they started throwing all of our belongings into the hall way... and the alerted the hospital that there was a code blue, in our room.... with in a few minutes our tinny room had 15 people in working on our tinny baby... i lost it.... i didnt know what was going to happen and have never been so afraid in my whole life...

the doctors did all that they could do in the peeds floor and haled korbyn to the picu..( pediatric intensive care unit) for a week they pumped drugs into my little mad, put him in a induced coma, and feed him over 11 Ivy's ...into a line that they put in his neck that went straight to his heart... they also placed him on a ventilator and a nebulizer..the first few days in the picu.. he wasnt stable... i didnt sleep either... i just watched his monitors and startled every time an alarm would go off... the first few days they were resuscitating him every 3 hours... witch was awful to watch... i stayed by his side and never left the hospital room.. i felt it was all i could do, watch the nurses and make sure no mistakes were made... ( oh i left this part out... on the peeds floor they mixed up his meds a few times... it really made me doubt the nurses capabilities) on the 3rd day the docs opted for a blood transfusion to help him with his white and red blood cells and the oxygen levels in his blood... it was scary knowing that we had gotten to this point... in the mean time dad and chris cam in and gave korbyn a blessing... and withing the next day or so there was s huge turn around.... korbyn gradually got better.. he had to learn hot to eat & be weened to a lower amount of oxygen...

to be continued......

well korbyn is waking from his nap so... i will continue my long story when i get another chance....
