Our Little Fighter!!!


I Know you are all dying to hear the Gator tail story but I am sorry to inform you that it will have to wait until tomorrow because I need my Phone adaptor to put the pictures from my phone on her.. You are going to LOVE the stories I have for you.
Anyway I just thought I would share a little story about my amazingly strong little girl..

Zeyda Mae Bates was born on July,13,2007. She came 5 weeks early! She was ready to come into this world and fight for her life. I was in labor when the doctor informed me that he was going to do an emergency C- section because the baby was under stress. "At the time none of us knew how much stress" They wheeled me into the operation room where my mother and sister's we not allowed in. I had never pictured this day to be like this.. I thought it would be so magical just like my sister's deliveries.. That was not the case. With a sheet up covering my stomach the doctor performed the procedure. And then the fear set in.. As I am laying on the table all I could hear were voices shouting "Code Red" And then the doctor asking "What is this? I Have never seen this before!" It felt like an eternity of silence.. Finally the Doctor came over and let me know that Zeyda was now breathing again. That they had reseitatied her. He also explained to me that she was born with her intestines on the outside of her body and she was being life flighted to a children's hospital where they had better knowledge of how to treat her. As they wheeled her past me in her incubator they stalled so i could at least see her beautiful face.
