WHAT IS A MATTER?

Nov 08, 2008 11:17pm (EST)

When i had my son Timothy he was 6 mths and 3 weeks. They expected that being so young he wouldn't make it, but today he is almost six years old and pretty healthy. Some days we have ups and down but some days are pretty good.
When I went into labor I had gone into the hospital many times, every week i was in the hospital 2times a week for one month, . They told me it was nothing, and would send me home, finally at the end of the month I had alot of contratctions. Then when I went in I started getting magnesium to stop the contrations and was rushed to a madison that was able to handle premuture babies with a nicu unit. I was in the hospital for 6 days before I had him. He had 5 blood transfussions before he was released 3 months later and at 5lbs 17oz. Now today he is as tall as my 8 yr old son and loves school.
