This is my first blog ever in my whole life.
A month ago today I had my first baby and never thought we would make it this far. Jagger was diagnosed with CDH during the 5th month of my pregnancy. My doctors lead me to believe that this was an easy repair/problem to deal with. They said that after Jagger was born that he would have his surgery and we (Jagger and I) would be home within that week. Obviously my doctor's/specialists were/are idiots. Anyway, it has been three weeks since Jagger's repair he has had a speedy recovery he has been ahead of schedule since the day he was born. He was scheduled to be born on 2/22 but decided that he wanted the 21st to be his birthday, he was off all oxygen exacly 1 week after his surgery when he was expected to stay on his vent for at least a month and he is now scheduled to come home this Friday. We did however have one big set back feeding. Jagger was a little aprehensive when it came to eating he does suffer from sever acid reflux but a change in formula seems to have done the trick. I guess my point in this blog is to not always believe what is told to you by all the doctors and specialist that you come in contact with during these trying times. My biggest advise is to keep your head up even though you want to curl up in a ball next to your babys incubator dont do it they sence everything, stay strong for your baby because he/she needs you now more than ever.
