I've been gone a while. I wanted to update you guys. There's been a lot going on in my life. On May 24th 2022, I almost lost my life having my son. I went from preeclampsia to eclampsia and nearly had a stroke and a seizure. My blood pressure was 180/110 and my organs had started shutting down. They ended up giving me a C-section nine weeks before he was due.
He was in the NICU for several months and so far in his short year of life he has had three surgeries. He was born deaf with a neurological condition and has yet to crawl or sit up on his own. I have physical therapy twice a week with him, speech therapy to teach him how to swallow, many many doctors appointments, so many I don't know the name of all his doctors.
He eats almost nothing by mouth and is fed by a tube that connects directly to his stomach. On September 1st he has a fourth surgery scheduled for Cochlear implants so that hopefully he can hear soon. I'm incredibly excited and overwhelmed and restless. I haven't even been able to think about writing in the last year. Hopefully when my daughter goes off to kindergarten things will calm down a little. She's supposed to go September 7th.
I just wanted to apologize for not updating hardly at all in the last year or so. I appreciate all of you. Hope you guys have a good day, stay safe, drink some water and know that you are appreciated. Thank you all!
