Fight for Preemie

It all begin in a bond of love for each other, that a beautiful gift from God would enter their lives. The gift was just that, a little gift. The little one was coming early and the doctor could not be reached at the local hospital. From there, they traveled on to a bigger more advanced hospital. The baby was born and whisked away without a glimspe to the parents. The parents soon would learn that they were parents of a very small baby girl. She weighted in at 3lbs 5oz and was born with a defect that needed to be handled immediately. If she would have been any earlier or born at the local hospital she would not have made it. She was in the hospital for three months following the birth and intensive surgery. You see she was born with a defect called Gastroschisis. In 1979this was not a common defect and the advances in technology were not there. The Doctor of deliver assumed that she would always have gastro (stomach) issues and that she might not live that long with the complications this contained. For months, anytime she cried or laughed after drinking milk would squirt from the holes that were healing from all the feed tubes uses to keep the baby strong and healthy. To this day, she has carried and delivered two very healthy and normal children and has one of the strongest stomachs a person can have. It has never restricted her in sports or activities... and she loved to show off her belly that had no belly button.
She still does to a few special and close friends. She favorite song is the Belly Button song by the Veggie Tales. YouTube video of songI am Texose and this is my birthstory.

Somewhere out there is a preemie that may not survive. In the early 1900s many did not make it because they require such love, care, and advanced medical care. Please help us get the awareness out as they are fighting everyday... for life...

****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)

pick up in autumn and here comes winter

I can't help being late... What do you mean that I need to set up safeguards?
You can't help me or solve this overnight my friend? I am trying but it is not working...

The time in between my last post and this one has been both humbling, and attacking to my spirit and physical condition. I have been having the darn est time trying to go to sleep at a good hour for a full nights rest. Usually when I sleep it is straight thru with no dreams to recall unless I wake in the morning in one. After being called into my bosses office again and again and a threat of discipline paperwork, I finally concluded that I needed to get help. My nights were 4 to 5 hours long with numerous interruptions from nightmares and noises which never let me get to my full rest cycle. Every morning was a struggle to rise... with 3 alarms set in different places and times, I still could not get out of bed on time much less to work. I made a desperate call to my physician for some sleep assistance and an increase in my current mood meds. Well, it has been about a week... and what a difference a small pill the size of a benadryl can make for me. It takes about 30 minutes for it to kick in but when it does, out go the lights. No more nightmares, and noises are waking me through the night. I still wake from time to time to go to the Lou but much better. The only down fall at this point it that if you don't get a full 8 hours of sleep, you wake refreshed but still abit groggy. Timing is everything with this stuff.
My spouse's run of the 1/2 marathon went great. While I was trying to get the kids up and packed he ran and finished it. He called and asked were I was even... I felt so bad... He finished in the same position as last year too. His next marathon will be in a few weeks. I keeps telling me that he doesn't know if you is ready... I call him on it... every time... I know he is ready and will do a great job...
Our ladies retreat went great, and our fall festival was fun. the turnout was not the greatest but we still had guests. It was a windy one of a day but it did not stop the fun. My eldest dressed in a authentic cheerleader costume with real pom pons and bells in her hair and shoes. She was so cute... My youngest was bumblebee and still continues to wear the mask when he is in the vehicle. He is so funny. Looking at the bodysuit it looked too big, but he had no problem filling it. I myself was a blue ladybug princess. If I get the photos loaded I will post them soon.

Well, that is about it in my neck of the woods. I better go for now... short sweet and to the point... until the temperature here drops lower.... I'll compose again!!!
