            Song "Amazing Grace"


        Hi welcome to my room
        I would like to tell you about me and my guardian angel.
        When I was due to arrive in this
        world there were complications
        which they had to induce labor
        but at the time the doctors just thought
        I was wrapped around my nourishment cord,
        you know the one that would feed
        me all that good stuff,
        so after having my mommy flip this
        way and that way as I was getting
        dizzy the doctors thought it best
        that I should leave my nice warm safe
        haven cause my heart beat was irregular.
        So after much time of hearing mommy making
        loud noises I decided it was time.
        Of course when I came out from twisting
        and turning I did have my cord wrapped
        around my neck not once but twice.
        (I guess I wasn't leaving home with out it.)

        My mommy didnt even get to hold me
        as I lay there crying,
        The doctors didnt think I was
        breathing good enough so they checked
        out my food supply for quite awhile to
        realize that it wasn't attached properly
        the whole time I was in mommy's belly,
        that was strike # 2
        but for some reason I had no problem
        getting my food after all I was
        8 lbs 20 3/4 inches long.

        The 3rd strike against me was
        when they found out I had a
        diaphramatic hernia (after taking an xray)
        that's why I still couldn't breathe to well.
        My inside were up in my chest cavity
        which pushed my heart to the right side,
        in which my lung wasn't able to develop
        either, so I was off to another hospital
        to make it all better.
        I was on life support for three weeks
        they made me better after many ups
        and downs and at last mommy was
        able to hold me thanks to many answered prayers.
        (especially since mommy had lost a baby the year before)
        The 4th strike against me was
        when a blood virus set in
        so that put me back some more,
        my bad lung collapsed and they had
        to pump it back up and get rid of
        the infections so I dwindled down to
        almost nothing and was low on blood
        due to my big cut on my belly after
        having the operation, but my guardian angel
        wouldnt let me fall
        cuz usually 3 strikes and your out
        and I was on my 4th pretty good huh?
        Then I was finally able to eat but
        with a straw in my nose(YUCK)
        but I was allergic to the milk(another strike)
        which made my butt red with sores,
        so then I had to lay propped up with
        a heat light on me,
        so mommy couldn't hold me again,
        and again still relying on a breathing machine.

        Soon I was getting better and got
        to go to the step down unit out from icu (yeah)
        that was a big day for us,
        I was off of most machines, after a
        few days there with no relapse (Thank GOD)
        I was able to go to
        a regular baby nursery.*GRIN*
        I was big shot there and the best part
        was mommy and daddy got to take care
        of me all day in a seperate room.
        (We made up for lost time to say the least)
        There though I had to learn to take
        a bottle cuz finally that straw got
        to come out of my nose,
        But you see after being on machines
        doing everything for me for so long
        I had to learn how to suck, swallow, and breathe
        at the same time, (WOW)
        you wouldn't think it would be that hard,
        but I guess newborns with no difficulties,
        automatically know how to
        do all of that.
        I eventually got the hang of it.
        My brother and sister got to come
        visit us on weekends with other
        family members (Boy what a big family)
        Then finally I was able to go home,(YEE Haw)
        My left lung still grows with me
        and it will be fully developed
        by the time I'm 7.

        I just had my 2nd operation
        at 2 1/2 yrs.old for corrective surgery.
        But I can keep up with the rest
        of the kids with out getting tired,*GRIN*
        So I know the good Lord spared
        me for a reason,
        And I hear mommy thank him everyday for that,
        I play with Jesus, he plays with me
        out side on my swings and in the house
        (He's a good Friend)
        some wonder just who it is that
        I am talking to and I say
        "well Jesus of course can't you see him?"
        hmmmm doesn't everyone see JESUS?.......

        My guardian angel has never let me down
        I'm so blessed that the
        good LORD sent her to me.

        Here is a poem
        My mommy wrote about
        ME and my Guardian angel

        "MY GUARDIAN ANGEL"

        My guardian angel so beautiful and white
        My guardian angel oh what a beautiful sight
        Your loving arms so warm to the touch
        Around my fragile body holding me as such

        Oh my guardian angel your whisper so soft
        Oh my guardian angel yes my fight is yet to be fought
        Your long golden hair as it brushes against my cheek
        I need your wings to suport me for you know that I am weak


        Oh my guardian angel please tell me it isn't so
        Oh my guardian angel don't ever let me go
        I can hear voices around me weeping so close to my ear
        I can feel the touch of others I can even sense their fears

        Oh my guardian angel I'm so glad the LORD sent you
        Oh my guardian angel please help me make it through
        Weeks have gone by now I feel a bit stronger
        Oh thank you sweet JESUS I can stay alot longer

        Oh my guardian angel who helped me win this fight
        Oh my guardian angel we can go home now to live our life
        Oh my guardian angel who was sent from heaven above
        Oh my guardian angel I will always cherish your love...
