daliacastilla21 - 07:11am Jan 23, 2012 EST

I became a teen mom at 15 I had my son joseph im 2006. He was born at 25 weeks of gestation a little piece of heaven my little premi. I can say that he was a miracle.The day after he was born I baptised my child I had receved the news no parent wants to hear the doctor Said are you religios and I responded yes he told me well you have little time hes going to die hes so small.hopefully I had faith in god joseph spent 3 months in the NICU I was so scared and the emotions where up and down, but my son survived day after day surgery after surgery he survived. After the everyday fight in the hospital I finally got to take my son home.At first it was so difficult but nothing compared to the time at the NICU. When I got to take my son home I had to take oxygen and a divice that was kind of a alarm it when beeped loudly when his hearth rate was not right and when he pulled it off honestly it scared me alot.My son has gone trough many things,but he is doing good he now attends school and has little problems mostly with learning and speaking I sometime thinks that hes like a 3 year old and well hes almost 5 and a half, but Im so Thankful for my son, and for The best hospitals in Omaha Nebraska theres alot more to my story and i sure like to help if you have any questions or just need support or a friend contact me Liz_castilla@yahoo.com
