ok so not rely a baby no more
This is my beautiful soon to be 6 year old!
She would have been a twin but I lost the other baby at 7+ 2 thankfully they were in separate sacs and didn't share a placenta or they said I would have lost her to
But her life did not come with out complication at 4 days old at 530am I woke to what sounded like chocking
I rushed to her to check
she had aspirated and was 2hours over due for her feed in a panic
I woke my mother who thankfully was staying for the first week :)
and ran with Bella across to the hospital (who saved her life)
She stayed in hospital for around a week things were good for a month
and it seemed like a freak thing and it would not happen again (but always on my mind how?)
well at 6weeks old I was changing her when
she went stiff as a board but shacking she wouldn't responded
and I called for help because I was not near the hospital I was at mums
Her eyes started rolling in her head and I done what first aid had told me
The hospital said she had a seizure
With epilepsy in the family I just cried
I already new the out come before the 1000s of dollars I spent on test
The seizures started happening more and more till they become nightly every night between 2-3 am I was able to set alarms for them
at 1 year old and lost count of tests from erg to mri to the rest
We were told she had epilepsy
We tried 3 different meds befor we found one that rely worked :)
We were told she may be a little slower then other kids because of the seizures
But she turns 6 this Sunday has meet and gone beyond mile stones
Is happy healthy and although every once in awhile she still has a seizure she don't remember them sleeps them off and goes about her business
She inspires me and she don't even no why
Iv got 5 kids and I'm proud of them all and although I often feel like I'm stuffing everything up and often getting it wrong
I gotta be doing something right
Sorry for the long post
