My son my miracle

When my son was 1 and a half he started getting to the point where he could not walk I had to carry him everywhere, i was 8 months pregnant. I took him to the doctor constantly and they kept telling me oh its just a viral infection. Finally one day he was with his father and his father finally realized what I was taling about, him not walking, and being unsteady. He took him to greenville to park place pediatrics and they knew right off what was going on. His father called me but he would not tell me all he said was they were admitting him to the hospital and I needed to get there ASAP!!..

Dear parents and readers,
My son Isaac was borned with 20% missing cerebellum. He is facing developmental delay now. Isaac cant talk, walk , crawl or stand on his own but he is progressing slowly. Both my husband and I have faced and gone through so much pain during these 2 years as most of our time is spent on doctors, teraphies and etc. Worst of all, to see Isaac go through all the pain while being tested again and again...

Sadie's Story

After I was diagnosed with PCOS and Factor V Leiden - our baby girl beat the odds to be delivered via c-section on February 28, 2008 in Joliet, IL. She was born with an unknown virus at birth that left her little body very weak and her lungs gasping for air. Nearly two days after she was born - and after several desperate attempts to improve her lung function - she was transfered to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago - nearly 60 miles from our home.

After seeing our baby on a vent, struggling to breathe and fighting to survive - we just knew that the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Children's would take good care of our miracle baby.

Every day she made strides - small to some - but huge in the hearts of her mom and dad...

Dearest Tkitty,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how devastating and disappointing that can be. My husband and I had 2 early miscarriages before having our son Gradon who is now 9 years old. He was born full term and healthy.
I wish you all the best... ...
