Walking Miracle


1979 Septemeber 30:
A baby girl was born with gastroschisis weighing in at 3lbs and 5 ozs. Born about 2 months before the due date of full completion, the 1st of their children t be born. Gastroschisis being when the outer skin and stomach muscles are not developed therefore the organs are outside the body. When this baby was born they had no idea that it had this. With just a kiss and a few tears the baby was wheeled away to surgery. While the parents awaited, doctor placed these very small and elicate organs in a sealed package and laided apon the baby's chest. As the days went by the closed contact the parents had with the little one was via protective gloves and plastic incabators. Once the swelling has gone down the organs were placed into the babies tiny torso. Organ by organ they planted each one. The end resolute of a babys body sealed using the stomach muscles, skin, and surgical wire. After months in the hosptial, the little one was allowed to go home. The Doctors did not have much hope but the parents knew that she would survive. She is now 26 going on 27 and has had two children without much stress and one of the healthiest childhoods. That is ME...
Once again another parents lives hang in time as one of their own who was 2 months early and has gastrochisis weighing in at 3lbs 7 oz...
