Tommy Gunn 2lbs 8oz! 10 years ago!

Today my baby boy turns 10 he is my miracle baby! He was born 3 months and 3 days early even though he was 3 months early he was a big boy weighing in at 2lbs 8 oz and 14 inches long. It was a night mare I didnt know if I would ever bring my baby boy home. He had to hit a lot of mile stones to come home and he ended up with a bloated gastro something something. Like I said its been 10 years. He came out with and they had to resuscitate him and he started to breath and they handed him to me and I looked at him that is when I looked into his eyes which didnt last very long because it is too stimulating for premies to look into there eyes. All of the sudden he just stopped breathing and I told them something is wrong they looked at him, grabbed him away and I didnt see him till the next morning. When I looked at him right after he was born he still looked like a fetus, after the bloated gastro thingy he ended up with a hernia and it cause a lot of breathing difficulties but they couldn't do the surgery because he was still so small and frail, and had tubes coming from every every vein and one down his throat and nose.



Finally they started talking about him going home we had to eat 2 full oz. he got his hernia fixed, and I had to take a cpr class, a class on hour to take care of his monitor, and finally a class on his oxygen he came home on. He came home May 23, 1999 just over 2 mths of miles stones. And now today he is 10 years old. His definitly a miracle. THANK YOU LORD! for my gift from You!
