This has been on my mind today and I want to share and hope to touch someone with my story... As some of you know, Liam was unexpectedly transferred to Vanderbilt when he was born due to breathing problems(he was so bad that before he left Cookeville he was on 100% oxygen). They diagnosed him with Pulmonary Hypertension at Cookeville(and of course I googled this which was a horrible idea) He was born on a Wednesday, so that Saturday morning Will and I were sitting in Liams Pod waiting on the doctors to make their rounds.Well, it was finally our time.. and the news I got cut me like a knife and I lost it... The doctor informed us that Liam was sicker than they thought and they didnt understand why he wasnt progressing being a term baby.. She stated his lung x-ray was cloudy but didnt really look like an infection.. sooo pretty much just to sum this all up, they really didnt know for sure just what was making him have such a hard time breathing. I was a train wreck that entire day and just didnt understand WHY(and for those who visited us on that Saturday were first eye witnesses to see how upset I was) But that night as Will went to food court, I went into our sleep room and dropped to my knees and I Prayed. I prayed the hardest I have ever prayed in my entire life. This was my baby and to not know for sure if your child is going to be able to live without being on oxygen the rest of their life or actually live period is just imaginable pain. But I wanted an answer and for those doctors to find what exactly is needed to make my baby better. Well, like I said I had a long talk with my God that night. The next day was May 11th, so it was Mothers Day and we had decided we would go home and spend some time with Harper. We got news that Liam was having a decent day and doing a little, so any progress was good at this point. on May 12, this was a Monday we went back to Vandy that morning and I remember walking back into Liams pod and saw his ventilator had been removed!!! This was a HUGE step and to make it better he was almost breathing with no oxygen! WE WERE VERY HAPPY PARENTS! The next day , the nurse practitioner came to speak with us and stated that it looked like Liam may have had Pneumonia and is doing MUCH better and his lungs had stared to clear up well and he was fighting this infection. PRAISE GOD! He came from no progression to Fantastic all in 2 -3 days! PEOPLE, THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER!. and this journey has brought me closer to my God and I am so blessed and happy with who I am today. I really hope that people know God will take care of your needs.. maybe not at the time you want or need.. but he will show you that HE is always there for his children! God bless :)
